Beware of emails claiming to offer medical information. To ensure you’re getting accurate information, go to the online source yourself rather than clicking a link in an email. Double-check any information yourself before you rely on it for any decision you’ll be making or pass it on to others as factual.

Other sources – don’t click on links to websites or sources you don’t recognize or know. You could allow a virus to enter your device. Instead, search for the website or information yourself.
