The only way to protect yourself is to arm yourself with knowledge. When you relax and expect others to protect you, they usually drop the ball. So this is why I do what I do.

Now even though that first one the link goes to an adult site, this next one looks like an actual phishing site:

Actually checking further this one is not a phishing attempt neither but if you fall for their tricks and click the link it redirects you to http://canadapillgroup.com/ which is a FAKE PHARMACY that could steal your money
