Appreciation post: A phishing email got me good

I got a message that looked like it was from my credit card company. Clicked the link and typed in my info before realizing it was fake. What's your go-to method for checking email links?

Eh, happens to the best of us. My go-to method is just hovering over the link to see where it really goes, which is boring but pretty much all I do.

Check if the link text looks weird too, not just the address.
