Hover Over Links Before You Click Them to See the Real Destination URL<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Helping to Keep You Safe!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the tricks scammers and other miscreants use is disguising links. We have told you many times that it’s really important that you think before you click<\/em>. One of the things you should think about is counterfeit links – those are links that look safe or text that disguises the true destination of the links. Did you know that by hovering over a link, you can see the real deal – the real link – uncloaked and not disguised?<\/span><\/p>\n
