I wanted to share a tip most of you probably know, but maybe you don't - or more likely, you know someone who doesn't, so maybe you can spread the word to your readers or whoever!

There's been a rash of spammers/scammers posting links to places in SL. It seems obvious it's a location, at first glance, right? But you CAN disguise links, like this: [http://google.com Karina (34,196,501)]. If you hover over that, you can see it actually goes to google.com - thus opening an external browser link (in this case safe but obviously could be a malicious site) despite appearing as an innocuous in-world SLURL link. So it's wise to hover over links to make sure they really go where they LOOK like they go.

Happy and safe SL-ing to you all!
