3 rules of thumb for e-mail...
1. if you don't know the person.....delete it......don't open it, don't read it and try and rationalize it....just delete it
2. if you know the person and they are asking for anything.....call them and verify it. Telephones are still the most reliable form of communication.
3. Never unsubscribe from any e-mail list....they are out there fishing for live addresses....when you unsubscribe you just verified that you are there.
follow these three rules and you should be fine.....Oh yeah, and use common sense at all times
