Tricky scam I ran into...

I got one of those. I thought it funny, since I don't have a Paypal account. Or a credit card to use it with. But it went straight to my Gmail spam box, and I only clicked it out of curiosity. I don't worry too much about opening spam emails when they are filtered as spam because all the images and stuff are blocked already. And Gmail has that handy red box that tells you it's probably a phisher.

No doubt. That's why no one should ever click on any links in e-mail, especially from mail that he or she is not expecting.

I prefer taking it one step farther and not opening any email period with a topic that either I'm not expecting or from someone I don't recognize.
