Well I just opened an email that has me e-spooked.

1. You can read email, just don't click the links. I wouldn't be worried, unless your FB isn't private

then delete. Easy. This, if you don't recognize the sender, but sometimes even when you do. They can easily spoof an email, meaning it looks like it was sent by say your bank, but it was not.

The real clues are when they give a direct link to log-in, especially to a bank site. Banks do not do this and if they do, get a different bank. Amazon also is another to be highly suspect. Basically suspect all, and then choose who to trust. I've been almost taken in a time or two because the email looked legit but the link was the giveaway -- if you can, click a copy the link, then when you paste it somewhere you can see if it's actually the site you think it is. If it says, "mysite.amazon.somewhere.com -- it's not from Amazon, it's from somewhere.com -- the last bit, before the .com or .whatever is the actual site.
