Go Phishing????

Phishing is the jargon term for using email to get people to reveal their personal information so it can be used to steal their identity.  Con artists use phishing emails to literally "fish" for information that they can use to unlawfully access bank accounts and open credit card accounts.  In the past this scam was conducted over the phone - that's where the "ph" in phishing comes from.
Here are two obvious phishing emails in my mailbox that I thought I’d share with you as examples of Phishing. 
For some reason Best Buy decided to offer me not just a $500 gift card but also a $1000 gift card this morning.  Here are the emails I found:

It says I’m eligible for a “FREE $1000 Best Buy gift card” so I better hurry up and click on the link to find out how to get it right?

If you click the link here’s what happens:  You get redirected from the original link listed above to another site that looks like this:

The first thing you should notice about the links in the email and the website is that the addresses are obviously not “Best Buy” websites.
