Prior to using Evernote I was using a combination of simple text files and Google Notebook to organize websites and other things I’d find online.

The Evernote application has been great. Mainly because it allows me to add items through the stand-alone application, the website if I’m on someone else’s computer, there’s an application for my mobile phone to use, and I can even send things to my Evernote notebook via twitter as well. How much better could it get?

Because of a tweet from geechorama who let me know there’s a way to import everything I had in my Google Notebook into Evernote nice and easy. Just visit this blog post on the Evernote website to find out how, and of course, while you’re there, go ahead and sign-up for your own account with Evernote.

How to Import Google Notebook to Evernote

As you can see from the image above which is a screen capture from my email Inbox, everything looks normal and appropriate and legitimate right? However, if you hover your mouse over the links you’ll see that the link is actually going to direct you to a bogus website that’s been setup to collect your information. I’m sure if you went to the site (which I don’t recommend and which is why I’m not even typing the URL you’ll see) it would look just like the PayPal website too.

If you look at the code behind the email in your Inbox, which Outlook automatically displays for Junk Mail, we can see in the image below the bogus links much more clearly.

The lesson here is that before you go clicking on links in emails. Take a minute to hover over them before clicking and just make sure they’re going to take you to the place you’re expecting to go. Otherwise, you’ll end up in a place where you really don’t want to be.
