Every link wears a costume
A link can say one thing and go somewhere else.
The bit you see — the words, blue text, or button — is only a label. Scammers can make the visible text say anything they like.
The real destination is hidden underneath, and that’s what decides where you end up.
Try it. Tap the link to reveal where it really goes:
The label said paypal.com. The real address didn't. Looking
underneath the label before you tap is the habit — and
when the real address means nothing to you, don't tap at all. Open
the app or type the site in yourself.

What to do next
The habit
Read it right-to-left, then go direct anyway
The real site is the last name before the ending — everything
bolted on the front is decoration. And when a message wants a
login, a payment or a code, don't use its link at all: open
the app or type the address in yourself.
