Let's admit that it's really hard to always recognize if the email is suspicious and we can't prevent to click one of those sometimes. Those phishing emails are not really dangerous like a one-click virus that will quickly do its purpose. As long as we know how to verify the site's security and don't easily give the info that the phishing email is asking then our accounts should be safe. Using an antivirus software will also help to alert you if you downloaded a malicious file on your device.
They will always send phishing emails to your email address, and even if you view the contents of the email, as long as you don't click on the link in the email, you will be safe, and nothing will happen. But in many cases, when people see attractive offers that come along with the email, they will immediately click on the link and fill in their identity or other necessary things, so they end up being scammed. Antivirus software also helps us identify any viruses or malware that are trying to get into our computers.
