Do you know how to tell where a web link really goes?
Before you click on any links in email or on the web, hover your cursor over the link to see where the link really goes. When you put your cursor over a link without clicking, your web browser will show you (usually on the bottom of the screen) the actual address the link goes to.

Be cautious of links you receive embedded in emails, or even on websites. Move your cursor over the link and note the actual URL displayed. Practice this technique so that you won’t be fooled by phishing and other email scams that entice you to click on links that appear to be legitimate.
