Even so, the link would disapear, but the address (the real one) don't. If
the user really wants to access it, it could be done simply by cutting and
pasting the address in the browser...

And would be an option. "Disarm", "Allert", or "No" would be the options...

No - Would not look for the frauds
Allert - Would work like today
Disarm - Would be the new option
