I was not receiving mail on LactNet as of the date of this post so I did not
see the original.  However, since you asked the List Mothers as well as the
group, I will respond on behalf of all of the List mothers.

 

It is never a good idea to click links from anyone who you do not know.
Additionally, do not click sites from someone you DO know unless you would
expect to get the link.  If you are curious, write to the sender and ask if
the e-mail is intentional, if she even sent it, and ask what the link should
provide.  It is now easy to "spoof" addresses.  I frequently get e-mail that
appears to come from my own address even though I never sent it.  There are
a lot of malicious folks with a lot of time on their hands.

 

Good catch and good instincts.

Lee here:  Is this a legitimate post from a trusted LACTNETTER or is it
suspicious?  I'm leery of opening the link (it might contain a virus)
because I do not know the sender and there is no subject given.  Listmothers
please let me know what you think.  Thanks!
