Look at the sender's email..... this is one way they are getting your email and password. At first glance on my phone, it looks like it came from Rokslide. But when you click on it, the sender email appears. That's not us!

Also when in doubt. Hover your cursor over the link, do not click. Generally it will show you the actual address and you will see its not the website you expect. They can put anything in the hyperlink.

Checking a link in a hyperking is a great practice.

On Windows you can also right click on a hyperlink and copy the destination address. You can then past it into word and look for redirects and such as sometimes scammers will use a long link that starts with a lagitimate link to the actual page, but ends with a redirect to a false page.

DNS Spoofing. Great suggestion for checking questionable links!

Heck, I don't even change my passwords when a legitimate site tells me I need to change it. I'll change it when I'm good and ready. And it certainly won't be when they tell me I need to change it. Let it expire.........see if I care.
