Where can I test links?

OK, I am on a few career websites that have a certain amount of access to my email address. I am also frequently firing off emails of my own to companies about looking for work.

The trouble is I often receive emails offering me a job and they come with a link. The trouble is I am unsure whether to trust these links or be wary of them.

So is it possible that a website has a service that allows me to cut and paste them the link and for it to test it before I click it?

    URL Void. As a volunteer on an antifraud forum, I use it frequently. Simple & quick, it searches the URL with about a dozen different link-checkers, i.e. McAfee, Norton, Trend, joewein, PhishTank, SURBL, etc.

    Source(s): www.urlvoid.com

    You can copy and paste the link but ensure you do have anti virus on your pc to guard your computer well. Beware of malware so very be careful.
