This just enforces the point that you should NOT click on ANY link which is
sent to you, regardless of who you think sent it, unless you know for sure
that the person you think sent it actually sent it and intended to send it to
you. If you are not 100% sure, then ask the person before clicking on the
link, otherwise very bad things can happen. Viewing porn at work can get you
fired, for example, unless you deal with spam as part of your job and people
forward it to you ;-).

List are especially bad since you don't know all the people and it is much
harder to determine what is being sent and why.
