If you suspect an email to be fraudulent, look at the email address of the sender. The email may claim to come from Chase Bank, for example, but the sender might be [email protected]. They can't get the email through to you if they use a "real" Chase Bank email address. It will get flagged and deleted before it gets to you.

LOTS of hacking going on these days...quite a bit comes via emails pretending to be something else. Always look at the email sender's address...it can be a great clue you're being scammed. A very common one is supposedly from godaddy, for example, but the sender's email address will be [email protected] or similar.

Don't click it! Email scamming is so, so prevalent any more...if you receive ANY email that seems the lest bit suspicious, don't click. Call that friend, ask if they sent it. Call that institution, etc. DON'T CLICK!

Be careful when clicking email links- I have had several instances of hackers getting into people's computers this week, and this is the typical mode of infection.
