Always check the URL of login page and be sure you are at the right place. For most of the website, direct type URL in the address bar instead of clicking on links. If the URL is looking strange, then leave the webpage. Some attacker use similar URL to fool the victims. Ex: they use www.facebo0k.com, www.fatebook.co or www.facebook.co.nr which looks similar but is not original.
Never believe on the links text. Sometimes link malicious links shows something else but go to somewhere else. Click on the link given in example and see the website.
