[QUOTE="fl00dz, post: 767354, member: 74818"] Best practice, like most people mentioned is to avoid clicking links in general. It's best to navigate directly to the site. This sounds more like a Quid Pro Quo attack, meaning something for something. This usually involves a telephone, but the threat actor can send out these emails and eventually someone will actually be waiting on an order status, enticing them to click the link rather than relying solely on curiosity. You can scan this link in virustotal though, or like you did, highlight over the link to see where it points to. [/QUOTE]
