This may be perfectly legitimate and harmless; I just checked my e-mail and there is a suspicious message from a source that I am not familiar with --- Photo Keeper. If I have joined something that it may be associated with, I am not aware of it. I did not open/read the e-mail. Here is what the description says: G-Mail has always been pretty good at determining unsolicited messages, but this one is right there at the top of the list. I am not knowledgeable as to what is and is not dangerous where e-mails are concerned; is there any harm in clicking on a potentially harmful e-mail in order to read it and see what it is ? I know that one should never open any files that are attached to questionable e-mails. Thanks for reading.

Delete it. Looks very suspicious to me. There is ALWAYS potential harm in clicking on some link in an unsolicited email.

Thanks for that info. With all the sharing of photos that goes on, I can see one falling for this one.

Thanks, guys/gals; I deleted it into oblivion.
I just saw on the news where several hospitals and major corporations have got their computers infected by some hostage taking worm, hence my alarm.

They sure are persistent; I just checked my e-mail and had two more from them since last night.
I was real quick to check-box them and hit DELETE, but then I got to thinking about it and wish I had of marked them as spam before I deleted them; maybe next time I will remember.

You could move them back to your in-box and mark them as spam if you felt it necessary.
