Never, NEVER EVER click the damn link on unexpected/suspect messages! I
thought we all knew this.

The link often isn't what it appears to be i.e. the actual link is
different to the text in the message which can be anything e.g.
www.hsbc.co.uk but the link will send you off to some suspect domain
that might be anything.

I see this all the time. Using Evolution, if I hover over the link with
the mouse it displays the actual destination in the bar at the bottom.

Delete.

Or, if they're targeting customers of e.g. a bank, you can sometimes
find something like abuse at example.com or phishing at example.com to forward
it to and they'll use their muscle to try to put a stop to the
perpetrator. Maybe.
