Hey releaseit thanks a lot very useful information. I would add, NEVER click on a link sent to you in an email that goes to a shopping site. If you like what you see in the add, then manually go to that company's website by typing in the main page. For example, if you get an add that says it's from "Sears" department store, and you like what you see and want to go buy something there, instead of clicking on the link in the email type the following in the address bar:
[url "http://www.sears.com"]www.sears.com[/url]
Then browse to the item that you want. If you click on the link, it may be a fake that sends you to one of those spoofed websites that looks like the real Sears website but is really a fake to steal your info.
