Be aware of the links that’s being sent to you through emails

I got an email last night requesting me to update my blog language. This email also indicated that it seems I didn’t login with my account within 90 days. This, I’m questioning since for two days, I logged in there for I have two adverts to accomplished. Anyway, along with it is my email address which they said is my username. The sender bears the company’s name with the email add that they usually do when sending news/updates but when I hovered my cursor on the link that they have given me (in which I put a rounded box on it on the photo), the URL is not directly the URL from that particular company. So, I tried to right click and copy link location. I opened another browser and open it there. It’s then I know the URL will open to the website of that particular advertising company. I said this thing is not REALLY right! It seems there is something fishy on that email and that link! Hmmm!

I’m glad I’m not that stupid enough to sign in with my account using the link from that email. Instead, I opened another browser again, and signed in using the right URL of that particular advertising company.

Well, I have this in mind that when I will use the redirected link, maybe its hacking things and they will have to record my passwords. I’m afraid that they will get in with everything and they will have to claim my salary. Hmmm! I’m just wondering, REALLY!

So, my advice is that when you will receive any emails, hover first your cursor on it before opening it. If the link is suspicious, then just use the right URL of logging in with any online account that you have!
