The malicious links will take the recipients, who have clicked on the links, to phishing websites, created by cyber-criminals to steal their personal and financial information, while the spam links will take them to untrustworthy websites where they will be asked to purchase fake or inferior products. The recipients may also be taken to malicious websites, where they will be tricked into downloading and installing malicious software like viruses, Trojan horse and spyware, disguised as legitimate software. Remember, never click on a link to sign into your Google account. Always go directly to Youtube.com, Google.com or Gmail.com and sign into your account from there.The Fake and Malicious Email MessagesSubject: Hi.
