The steps

The exact sequence, in order.

  1. 01

    Open the message: the link text looks right.

  2. 02

    Rest the mouse on the link, don’t click: the real address shows.

  3. 03

    Read the name just before the final dot: that’s the one that counts.

  4. 04

    Here it isn’t the supplier: it’s a fake payment site.

The habit to keep

To pay an invoice, use your own bookmark or your accounts team, never the link.
