They have a link that directs you to a collect a "prize", do not click on anything that looks odd

It's terrible, isn't it to prey on gullible people?!! Thanks for looking out for the vulnerable or ignorant @I am still oxox .

@I am still oxox This has been going on for years. I never click on any link sent by a "stranger" or a company I am not dealing with.

I don't even open links sent from family without checking with them personally.

I have a question that is somewhat related. If I get an email from someone I don't recognize I never even open it up ( sometimes it will also say this email has no subject). What I would like to know if its okay to open the email, just not click on an enclosed link or don't open up the email at all?

@Jordan2   I will open the email but never click on links.

@grandma2pkmh okay thanks.

@I am still oxox   In the same realm, I have read recently that on some spam emails if you go to the "Unsubscribe" part, that is also how the evil people get into your computer.

@I am still oxox  same here!  I am getting many spam texts about USPS or UPS deliveries.  You can forward these texts to your carrier. Forward the text to 7726.  (SPAM)

Yes, it's safe to click on and read the email, just don't click on any links within the email, including the 'unsubscribe' link.
