CHECKING A HYPERLINK WITH AN iPad:
I knew someone out there would know the answer. I have received this from John - It is not a simple as with a computer / normal laptop - but it is possible with an iPad:
Hi
Assuming you are using the Apple supplied email program, you can look at the ‘issuing email address’ and also ‘a link’, if there is one.
If you press firmly on the ‘From’ name, then release, you’ll get a pop-up dialogue box, showing the email address.
Similarly, pressing on a ‘link’ and releasing, will reveal the real address.
Best Wishes
John
Thanks John, not as easy as ‘hovering’ over an email / Link, but it is still possible, to see the real sender.
NEXT: Last year we made some Fraud Warning videos, using local actors, who were acting out what actually happened. They did a brilliant job and bring the message home:

We do have an issue with people losing waste amounts of money on investment frauds. NEVER DEAL WITH ANYONE WHO COLD CALLS OFFERING BRILLIANT RETURNS ON MONEY INVESTED. IF IS SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE - IT IS EITHER CRIMINAL, OR A SCAM !!!
If you have invested with someone who cold called have a look at this page on the Action Fraud website. Billions of pounds are lost in these scams.
