Phishing messages are designed to get you to click links that look to be real but are actually scams.

Scammers can use these tricks to empty your bank account, earning the schemes the moniker of bank-killing or draining.

And especially as more people travel this summer, Trend Micro has warned people to keep an eye out

Delta Air Lines is one phrase to keep an eye out for.

Scammers have been using the brand’s name in phishing emails advertising a $500 travel credit through a link.

Clicking it will take you to a fake Delta page.

Fake websites have also been a common Airbnb scam – which is the second phrase to look out for.

These websites have been created to fool users – but the scam can usually be spotted in the URL.

If the URL has a series of rogue numbers or anything that says “longterm” or “network,” it’s most likely fake.

If you’re unsure as to whether the URL is real, the home company’s real website is airbnb.com.

Apple is another phrase to keep an eye on.

People have reported receiving texts that claim there’s a problem with their Apple Wallet.

These messages have also included a fake link that will take you to a fake Apple login page.

This has been reported to be especially dangerous as clicking the link and entering your information could lead to scammers gaining control of your Apple ID.

Finally, Walmart is the fourth phrase to be aware of.

Scammers have been sending fake text messages to trick you into thinking you’ve won a free TV.

The messages have included fake links which could ask you for your credit card information.

If you receive any of these types of messages, your best bet is to not click the links.
