I opened this email while distracted but clicked on no links - just closed out when I woke up - duh - any concerns or is it all about the ad/going to the website?
Yes, it is all about going to the website and tricking you into buying something fake.
Wow! a friend emailed me about this and I was sold on it, luckily for me my credit card got refused (I do not know why) tried it twice. Then I googled the information and read your review.
If you just click on the link from the email and close the website right away, will anything bad happen? Am I hacked or anything?
No. You will need to download malicious software or enter your account credentials on a fake website in order for them to hack your computer.

Barbara Lake is a good personal friend of mine.There are a lot of other fake email addresses from a Barbara.lke but I deleted them. I will advise the other ones as they are received.Thanks."
My friend just got this from someone claiming to be from me but came from jen-turquoisemountain.org. Does this mean I am hacked? Should I delete my email account?
No, it does not mean you were hacked. It is possible that the email that your friend received was spoofed. Click here to learn more about Email Spoofing.
I was one that was scammed as I ordered CLA SAFFLOWER OIL PILLS l. I believed it was legit because the email looked like it came from my sister and she wouldn't send me anything that wasn't OK. How by the way did they get my sisters name as she doesn't buy anything on line.
If her friends or family members have her name and email address in their address books, and their computers or mobile devices are infected with a spyware, the spyware can steal her information and send it to cyber criminals.

My dad just got an email about this scam from my brother who has been dead for a year.
