The Truth:
Beware!
We encountered several of these cleverly disguised invitations, similar to the sample below.
These invitations
have buttons to accept or ignore the invitation but clicking them or any of the links in the email will reroute the computer user
to a website that could possibly infect them with a computer virus.
The easiest way to
check questionable emails is to hover the mouse (without clicking any
buttons) over the links in the suspected emails. Looking at the bottom
border of the email window, an Internet location in the form of a URL to
the website can be seen. If that link does not appear to be from the
company sending the email it is a very good indication that it is a
redirecting scam.
It is a good practice
to never click links in unsolicited emails until the computer user is
certain that the links are safe.
