The email message below: "Please claim this rewards card to McDonalds garland," is a fake. Clicking on any of the links in the fake email message will take potential victims to fake websites, where they will be asked to installed malicious software, complete surveys and send their personal information in order to receive coupons, rewards or other promotional prizes. But, it doesn't matter how many surveys the potential victims complete or how much information they submit, they will never receive what they were promised. This is why the recipients of the fake McDonald's email message should not follow the instructions in it; they should just delete it instead. The links in the email message may also take potential victims to websites filled with spam.
