Latest updates

This stays small on purpose — full lists are in each section.

Benefits enrollment deadline Offer letter verification Delivery delayed Order cancelled, refund pending

Rule: if a message pushes a link + login/OTP/passwords/documents — treat it as high risk and verify in the official portal you open manually.

Bank alerts & card issues

Routes for bank and card messages. Goal: verify safely and avoid link-driven scams.

Banking routes

Choose the page that matches what you see (not what the email subject claims).

Rule that prevents most losses

Don’t use links from the message thread.
Open your banking app manually, then verify the alert there. If a message asks for OTP, passwords, remote access, or documents — stop.

Start point: Bank email: scam or real?

Orders, Delivery & Refunds

Routes for delivery delays, tracking statuses, and refunds — pick by what you see in tracking or in your order page.

Pick by what you see

Fast path: “Delivered” → open “Delivered but not received”. No movement → “Stuck in transit”. Cancelled/Return → “Refund pending”.

Tracking status

Order outcome / refund

Rule that prevents most losses

Don’t miss the dispute window.
If tracking stalls or the item is missing, escalate early (merchant → carrier → payment method).

Don’t pay “customs/reattempt fees” from a link. Fees are a common phishing angle — verify via the carrier site you open manually.

Start point for most cases: Delivery delayed (then branch by tracking status).

Work, Payroll & HR

Routes for HR, payroll, offers, onboarding, invoicing, and client payment issues.

Employment routes

Pick the route by request type: payroll / offer / verification / invoice / termination.

Rule that prevents most losses

Never change payroll/bank details from an email thread.
Verify via HR portal you open manually or by calling a number from the official website/intranet. Signing links can be spoofed — proceed only after independent confirmation.

Start points: job offer · payroll · vendor flow.
