When you get emails like that hover the mouse over any link before you click it so that you can see the web address it will take you to. If they don't match (and particularly if they will take you to a .ru, .cn or similar) DON'T CLICK THE LINK!

*Edit - even downloading the images can positively identify to the spammer that you have received the email (which is why lots of email software gives the option not download images in the email).
Often these spam mails are referral based schemes where they get a % or a few $$ / ££ for signing up new customers.

Would save an awful lot of grief if ppl knew that, and other simple trouble avoidance tips.
No website for 'sportsbetting.com', seems just to be hosted for email. Registrant is in Cook Islands.

Personally I'd mark it down as spam and walk away.
I get hundreds of these every week.

their last reply after i suggested that he tried to open the link to test if he got infected

But they still have not said if originally, if it is one of their Emails that have been hacked , which was the reason for me bringing it to their attention

Quote from: rongtw ... every one i have received has had a different sender so spam filter not working ...
The Spam filter doesn't just work on email address does it? Keywords etc?

I'll often get 4 or 5 spam emails in a row with the first not identified as spam but subsequent mails marked as spam (using my own email server / antispam software)
