Tricky Messages!

I was checking on an e-mail caught in my Barracuda Spam Firewall’s Quarantine that, at first glance, made me pretty angry, you see, it was from TigerDirect about an order but I hadn’t placed any orders from them!  I then went through my standard steps on authenticating an e-mail and found that it was indeed a phishing attempt.  Phishing is an attack that attempts to trick a person into giving away credentials by luring them to a site that appears to belong to a reputable company such as TigerDirect.  Beware of these e-mails, they’re not legitimate and could cost you dearly!  Take a look at what the e-mail looked like below.  Pretty convincing, huh?
