Even if you know the person, don't click on it. The only way I click on
anything is if I told the person to send it. One time I received something
from mys sister. Since we really weren't that close, I had a feeling it was
a worm and it read her address book. Sure enough, I was right. 2 of my
brothers clicked on it and my farther who is in his 80s knew better. I must
be a good teacher.
