Don’t Get Fooled Again
Unfortunately, there are always people that find ways to ruins things. Spam. Spim. Spit. Phising. Visuses. Trojan Horses. Hoaxes. What a waste of time, money, bandwidth, and good Karma these thing are!
The other day I was helping a user with a hoax email from Paypal, and I pointed out a Notes feature that I thought would make a good tip for today.
When you hover (don't click!) your cursor over a URL in Notes, you will see the actual destination of the click appear in the status bar at the bottom of the Notes screen.
For example, while this URL appears to go to www.paypal.com, notice at the bottom of the screen it shows that it is really going to www.scannerstalk.com. So in this case, I would not trust the link.
I hope this helps you fight the bad guys.
