- Never ask you to go to a link apart from www.who.int;
- Never ask money in return when you apply for a job, reserve a hotel, or register for a conference;

1. Authenticate Email Address
Verify the email address of the sender. Make sure it represents as -person@who.int-. If there is any drift, then report it immediately to WHO as it is not an authenticated sender.
For example, -@who.org-, -@who.com-, or -@who-safety.org-, doesn-t send an email.
2. First Verify then Click
Double-check that link says -https: //www.who.int-. For added security, directly go to the WHO website by typing the URL into your browser.
