Red Flag - Hyperlinks

HYPERLINKS:

  1. If you receive an unfamiliar email that feels strange, DO NOT: Click any links, respond to it, or try to "unsubscribe." Contact the person through familiar channels.
  2. You hover your mouse over a hyperlink that's displayed in the email message, but the link to address is for a different website. (THIS IS A HUGE RED FLAG)
  3. You received an email that only has long hyperlinks with no further information, and the rest of the email is completely blank
  4. You received an email with a hyperlink that is a misspelling of a known website. For example: www.bankofarnerica.com​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ - the "m" is really two characters "r" and "n".​​​​​​
  5. Odd messages that indicate a shared file on Google Drive or OneDrive/SharePoint that you're not expecting and will prompt for you for login. Example: evaluation.docx
