Everything you say is so true. It's annoying indeed! And as you say, you don't know where you are secure on the net anymore. It literally gets to the point where you just cannot trust anybody unless you know them.
Thank you for your input, and yes, you are absolutely right, we cannot attend to links or messages while in a haste. Very good advice and a lesson I have learned as well.
But yes, fortunately, I saw it for what it is and didn't entertain it any further, but yes, things are on the safe side again.
Thank you, @mcyusuf. I do appreciate your input.
