If you spot a link containing a shortened URL, but feel uncertain about whether it's "safe" or not, you could try entering it into: http://unshorten.it (They are based in Edinburgh.)

They will search and give you a brief description about the page and its content, (with a safety rating, where available.)

If you don't have a short URL to hand, here's an example you could copy/paste into their search bar: www.snipca.com/13107
