❓ FAQ

How to quickly tell if a link is real?

Check the domain: official sources use their own formal domain; scams often use short URLs or impersonating domains (extra letters, weird endings). If in doubt, don't click; use the official App or call official customer service.

If I just clicked without entering info, can I get infected?

Clicking is usually fine; the risk is in 'entering personal info/passwords/card numbers' or 'downloading and installing unknown Apps.' If you didn't enter or install, just clear it, but still monitor your accounts.
