Notice a message rushing you
Spot the hurry that was put there on purpose.
Final notice. Twenty-four hours. Your account closes today. The hurry is placed there so you act before you check.
A real company leaves you time, and is reachable tomorrow on a number you already have.
Key points
- A deadline in a message is there to stop you checking
- Checking means calling a number you already had, not one in the message
What to remember
- A deadline you did not know about means slow down.
- Hurry is aimed at your judgment, not your account.
Try this
When a message sets you a deadline, put it down and call the number printed on your statement.
