How can you be sure the link is safe . Experts say the best way is to pick up the phone and ask. And heres another tip, if you do see a link before you click it, make sure you have a little s after http. Thats the s, that means secure. If his investigative reporters are going to put their Social Security what chance do we have . And thats why its easy to remember. It takes one second to check with your administrator or whoever.
