I'm just paranoid that way, I guess. I ALWAYS hover over the link- even if it seems like something fishy from my friends. I’m just paranoid that way, I guess.

Cracks me up. I only wish I could teach others to do so regularly. I really need to check into my spam comment blocker stats. I haven't done that in a couple years. Might be interesting to see what they've filtered out. I think only three or four have made it through in the last year. I'm very impressed with their system. Yay, Typepad!

I get some for my AOL account (which I use the email for a few items). All but one of the links is a legit link on the surface, but when clicked, it goes to a bad site (which is the one link in the email that's not a legit AOL link). Didn't realize that Gmail has the same type of phishers, but I guess it's to be expected given how popular Gmail is. Very details report, including your ingestion of breakfast tacos.
