Discord.js bot doesnt recognise set prefix (which makes everything its prefix)

This is my code:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const {Client, Attachment} = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Client();

const PREFIX = 'z';

bot.on('message', message => {

    
    let args = message.content.substring(PREFIX.length).split(" ");

    switch(args[0]){

case 'general': 
        const general = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
        .setTitle('**𝙎𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨**')
        .setThumbnail('https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/716968826129874984/720196083858276362/3.gif')
        .setFooter('General Commands...should be straight foward!!!')
        .addField('**𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡** ', ' `prefix | profile | bot info | about | avi` ')
        .setFooter('put "z" behind of each word to open more commands...')
        .setColor(0xFF0000)
        .setFooter('Made by 11 | discord.gg/PPNyDyw');
        message.channel.send(general);
        break;

The prefix is "z", but if i was to type "ngeneral" or put any letter before the command the bot would respond with the command.

How do I fix this?

You need to check if the message starts with the prefix. We can use the startsWith() method for this.

if (message.content.startsWith(prefix) {...}
else {...}
