Online users, be aware of fake or spam websites like the ones below, which claim Gwen Stefani appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where she opened up about her new boyfriend's (Blake Shelton) incredible body transformation using Pure Natural Forskolin or CLA Safflower Oil. The spammers and scammers who operate the fake or spam websites illegally use celebrities' names without their consents to trick potential victims into buying their fake weight loss products, steal their credentials, personal information or financial information. The reasons why scammers or spammers use celebrities in their scams is because they know that the best way to sell a product is to have celebrities endorse it. In their case, to make it seem as if celebrities endorse their fake product.

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?

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.

Received via email:
"Hello, I read the article on fake emails using a friend’s email address to write to me and it is the ad on the ‘Gwen Stefani Ellen Degeneris Safflower Oil’ one.
I deleted many of them, but the fake email addresses they are being sent from are barbara.lake61@johnlapetina.com and Lake Barbara <barbara.lake280@charter.net>. 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. <a href='/article/2013/1/28/what-is-email-spoofing/'>Click here</a> 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.
