QUOTE: Users are strongly advised to be wary of online offers. Here are some useful dos and don’ts that will help you stay safe from spammers and scammers on the Web:
EXCELLENT SAFETY TIPS
-- Do not open emails that come from senders you do not personally know
-- Do not click links embedded in emails. To check if these are legitimate, you may use free tools such as Trend Micro’s Online URL Query
-- Do not rashly give out your personal credentials online. You may end up just being another phishing victim
-- Do keep in mind that legitimate offers are only sent to subscribers
-- Do remember, too, that cybercriminals will do anything for money so stay safe online by using a security suite that stops threats before they even reach you.
