In this video, I’ll show you two steps to verify a suspicious link.
Steps
1) Visual examination of the link
2) Using websites that can check the link without clicking on it
The things you need to check before even thinking about going to the second steps are
1) Http is less secure than https!. Https can give you more confidence but it’s not necessarily safe. S stands for secure – meaning secure connection.
2) Shortened links are more risky. There are many websites that help to shorten links. However, then the shortened links could conceal the actual location of the link.
3) Use of strange characters in the link are more risky. Example = %. Stay away from strange looking links.
4). Context is important too.
Once, you’re gained some level of confidence in the links, then you could further verify it by using the following websites. However, be very careful not to accidently click on a link when trying to copy! Try to manually type the link if you could, it is less risky.
