If you have no affiliation with that e-mail, click spam on it and that'll be it. If you haven't clicked on and open it, then most likely your IP address will not be locked in. If you did clicked on it, and went to the site, then it is a possibility that the have your IP address is locked in.
This means that if you don't have a strong internet security program monitoring your computer, information maybe hacked. A simple trick you can do, is to unplug you internet modem and your WiFi router for about 5-10 minutes. This will change your internet IP address and they will lose tracking. All the best!

I received the same too.

Thank you very much for sharing

Yeah, there's a bunch of those out there, automated bots online trying to phish anything they can.

Also beware the ones that come through the mail. You get a letter about renewing your domain name, requesting that you mail them a check. If you get one of those, just toss it!

Thanks for sharing, Brian! Many other members have received similar attachments!
