When the scammers have set up a website, they need to get the victims to visit this website. One of the most common techniques is to send out e-mail with a link in.
Know what you click on
12. tip: Before you click on a link in an e-mail, you must therefore always make sure to check what url the link points to.
This is done by holding the mouse pointer over the link in the e-reader program, and after a little while the url will appear in the status bar or in a hint box at the mouse pointer.
As a general rule, should an e-mail that appears to originate from Elkjøp point to something that starts with http://www.elkjop.no. All services that require login or is a form of safety-critical (banks, social media, online stores, etc.), should also start with the https. Anything that comes from the DNB should, therefore, start with https://www.dnb.no.
keep in Mind that the links in an e-mail do not necessarily point to where the text of the link suggests. In the same way as the following link sends you to the Newspaper, even though the text suggests the VG: http://www.vg.no
