See why a short link hides
Why a shortened link is worth a pause, and what to open instead.
A shortened link is a stub. Pressing it forwards you somewhere else, and the address never names where.
Handy in a text, and exactly what a fake one wants: a destination you cannot check.
Key points
- A shortened link forwards you somewhere it does not name
- The company’s own app gives the same answer, safely
What to remember
- Open the company’s own app instead of the link.
- Go to the company by a route you already had.
Try this
Next package text you receive, leave the link alone and open the delivery app. The tracking is the same.
