3 Simple Ways to Tell if a Link Is Safe 🔗

Hey there,

Ever clicked on a link and wondered, “Is this safe?”

Scammers are getting really good at hiding dangerous links inside emails, texts, and even websites.

But don’t worry.

I’ve got 3 super simple steps to help you check if a link is safe before you click!

1. Hover Over the Link

Move your mouse over the link without clicking it.

This will show you the actual URL the link is pointing to.

If it looks suspicious or different from what you expect (e.g., “paypal-security.com” instead of “paypal.com”), don’t click!

2. Use a Link Checker

You can copy the link (without clicking) and paste it into a trusted link-checking tool like VirusTotal or Google Safe Browsing.

These tools will tell you if the link is safe or flagged as harmful.

3. Check the Domain Name

Scammers often use links that look almost real. For example, instead of “amazon.com,” you might see something like “amaz0n-secure.com.”

Always look closely at the domain name. It should match the official site exactly.

Example of a real vs. fake link:

• Real: www.amazon.com

• Fake: www.amazon-support.com

See how easy it is to miss the difference?

Scammers count on that!

Don’t take chances with unknown links!

Stay safe,
