Hi Sharen,

You have definitely not called me. I neither work in a bank nor have any affiliations with Bank of America or any other bank. This is just a blog that I post stuff that Keller Williams agents send me to check. I have removed your contact data from your post to hide your identity.

In all email correspondence always be extra careful what links you click on. Use a good internet browser like Firefox or Chrome. They would normally have a feature to check website for known malicious attacks and, just like in the post above, would display a warning message and prompt you to stop.

Take care Sharen.

I get an umemployment check thru a Bank of America Debit Card. I received an e-mail this morning saying my Card had been cancelled because someone tried to access it. Then it says to open a file. Then it says to click to another line and it says to change my online name and ID. I called you and you said it was fake. I believe that someone has a list of people who are receiving unemployment. I don’t have a bank account with you except for my Unemployment Debit Card. I feel that someone has a list of people receiving unemployment on Debit Cards through your bank. Sharen Stegall

Yes, I will post a video soon. Generally, you would simply place the mouse cursor over the link, without clicking on it and in the bottom left corner of your screen (above the Start button) you will see where the link would take you. If you can't see it, go to View on Internet Explorer and click on Status Bar. Then repeat. Yonko www.HomeOfficeTechSupport.com

Hi Yonko,
Can you explain how to “check where a link would take you before clicking on it.”
Thank you!
