Just a query. Outlook is now blocking all of the links in the Mumsnet money saver email. It says the link is unsafe and trying to steal my information? Wasn't doing it last week! Any suggestions?

Hi OP

Thanks for letting us know about this.
Is it only email links on the money saver mail, and could we have a screenshot?

I've only noticed it today on the money saver email, but it is every link. This is the sea salt one.

Good morning @WisestIsShe

Thanks for flagging this, sorry to hear you've been having trouble. Is this still happening for you when you click on the links?

WisestIsShe · 03/09/2020 08:50

Yes, just tried it again.

Thanks for coming back! And do you also get this message if you click to the Competition links near the foot of the email, or is it only on the links that lead to merchant sites?

Ok so the competition links work fine. So does the link for Saint and Sofia.

Easy A works, Argos works, Boden doesn't, Monki doesn't, Fit Flops doesn't, nor paperchase, Oliver bonas, or Lulu lemon. Nothing under "more great deals" except the Amazon link.

Thank you for this! I believe this is connected to Outlook's security settings rather than the affiliate links actually being unsafe - I am going to look into it further to see if there's a way round it. We've not had any other reports of this happening so it does seem to be a one-off.

In the meantime, if you'd like me to PM you a link to the newsletter so you can open the links in your browser please let me know.
