Anyone using the internet needs to approach email, web sites with the same common sense that they apply to the rest of their life. (You know what I mean, if it sounds too good to be true, run don't walk the other way).
I frequently search for additional information about any email that offers me money, or asks for some of mine. In addition, these sites have helped me avoid problems before they've begun.
