It might be. Scammers copy DocuSign's “you have a document to review and sign” email to get you to click a link that leads to a fake Microsoft, Google, or DocuSign login page — which then steals your work or email password. The email looks polished, uses the DocuSign logo, and creates mild urgency about a contract or invoice you supposedly need to sign.

A genuine DocuSign request comes from someone you're actually expecting a document from, and you can always access it by going to docusign.com directly and logging in there, rather than clicking the email's button. Real DocuSign links use docusign.net; look-alike domains are the tell. If you weren't expecting a document, don't click. Paste the link into a scam check first and confirm the request with the supposed sender through a known channel.

Top 5 red flags

These are the signals to watch for with this DocuSign email. Not sure about a link involved? Our report grades every one and tells you exactly what it found.

1. A document you weren't expecting

An out-of-the-blue contract or invoice to sign is the bait.

2. The link isn't docusign.net

Hover the button — a look-alike domain means phishing.

3. It pushes you to a login page

You shouldn't need to re-enter your email/Microsoft password to view a document.

4. Generic sender or vague company name

No real name or a mismatched sender address signals a spoof.

5. Urgency about a deadline or expiry

“Sign within 24 hours” pressures you past the warning signs.
