A lot of people don't understand that there isn't any risk to open an email, the risk is clicking on links in an email.
If there is any doubt as to where the link will send you in an email, hover your cursor over the link and the real link will appear at the bottom of your computer display. The same thing holds true to links on internet websites.

Not kidding I have an 828 FICO credit score. I worked hard to pay bills that I owed all my life before any pleasure fun expenditure. Like mom said you owe pay.
Not so much E-mails but phone calls like the one yesterday. "You have 4 companies looking for you with past due bills. Please call this number and we can help you." Yeah right hold on I will get right back wid yahs. Hello Lifelock?

Be very careful with what you click on. Even if you get an email from your bank, do not click on it. Go and log into your bank account or call them up but do not click on any emails.

Every month I get an email from my bank telling me that my monthly statement is available to view. They include a warning saying never click on any email links, then they have a link that says click here to log in and view it on line.
Never have figured out why they put in that link and then tell you not to use it.
