    You broke the first rule of protection. Never open an email from a sender you do not know. You are sticking your nose out and saying "hit me"
    Each click of the mouse increases your exposure. You are lucky the links did not function. Who knows what malicious intention was waiting, if the link had been made?
  • GADFLY on the back page of the financial mail (with the mail on sunday) has a piece on it,and believes it to be trying to pass off as apple shop.co.uk .

    Personally I think that's a load of rubbish.

    An email Name and Address can be spoofed VERY easily, and can appear to come from anyones address, with any name.

    And you may miss something important.... I don't expect many of the mails I get, but they are useful!

    Anyone else agree?!
