URL-Check is a powerful tool you can use to help protect yourself from being scammed.
It looks deep into an email to show who really sent it and where its links really go. It can only do this with a forwarded copy of the email.
So first, open your email, select the email you're worried about, and forward it to checks@cyassets.com. Then come back here.
