Trick of the moment

“Your parcel is on hold”

A text asks you to pay a small fee to release a parcel, with a link. The real delivery services never ask for card details by text: check the tracking number on their official app.

Questions

How can I tell if a link is fake?

Look at the real domain: the name and ending just before the first single “/”, read from the right (paypal.com in www.paypal.com/login). Anything written before it can be invented by anyone.

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no ads. Your progress stays in your browser.

Who is Leon?

Leon is a chameleon. In Greek, the word literally means “ground lion”. A former master of disguise, he knows every scam trick and now helps you spot them.

The Show Yourself extension does this for you, on every link you hover.
