As technology progresses, one spends more time on the internet and comes face to face with some ugly aspects of the blessing. Spam links are the most common ones, especially circulating on WhatsApp, Facebook, and at times in text messages. They have an urgent message attached to them so that people would be more likely to click.

Some scams have a financial bait, such as winning money or an iPhone, and others sound serious and usually ask for bank details to solve some problem with your account. Either way, clicking on these links will lead one to a fraudulent website that aims to steal your data. These websites sell the data or misuse it to access personal files or make transactions, leaving the victim wholly exposed.
