Never open anything that you are not sure of. Uncomfortable with. If it looks different, too good, has an attachment, don't open it!!!! There are so so many things found in emails that are bad. It is always better to delete and risk the slim slim chance you are deleting something of importance.

not only would I think it is a scam.--It may be someone in your area trying to find out when you aren,t home --so that they could break into your home.
I wouldn.t answer it either.

We have a real survey company constantly calling. But they never let it ring past 4 rings and never leave a message. Their number shows up as 'Novartis' and they actually took out ads on TV pointing fun at themselves. Don't know if the ads actually helped. I still don't answer their calls.

No one ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of people.
