I did this, I went into my room and tried it when nobody was there.

Same here :D

Never even visit the sites in those emails. The link could be a java-driveby.

Same haha, back in 2005 I actually got hacked for doing that. I'm glad it was only a Blue HC Chair though.

Yes same :) I actually thought it would work and i fell for the MSN scam when people pretended to be Lost_Witness and if we gave out pass then we would recieve free furni. I was actually rich then so I was very disappointed! Bad days.

Thanks for pointing all this out Ryan!

I got a fake e-mail a couple of days back aswell - looked really real!!

Well if u ever get an email from any site, unless you know u wanted it (like reset PW), then just dont click it. Easy enough.

Yup. Also if you do get an email from an unknown person with a link in it, don't click the link, instead, to find out it's real, type the address in the url bar;) If it comes up with something blank or like the picture at the bottom, you know clicking the hyperlink on the email would've been some bad news:( So basically, don't click a link unless its from someone you know:D

About the 'Don't click it unless it is from somebody you know' - what happened if their email got hacked? On topic, I haven't actually tried it tbh so thanks for posting that tip and I haven't thought about doing it either ;)
