Detecting Bogus Web Page Links

Email messages and web pages can easily masquerade the true location that a web page link will take you to.  The first link will take you to the TCNJ home page.  The next two links will re-direct you to another page at TCNJ so they are safe to click on.  Can you tell why there are fake?

Real #1:  http://www.tcnj.edu

Fake #1:  http://www.tcnj.edu

Fake #2:  http://web.tcnj.edu.somewhere.com/tcnjmail.htm

 

Be careful what you click and never click a link in an email message you are unsure of.  Remember, TCNJ IT will never ask for your password.
