I receive emails like this one on a regular basis.

Has anyone seen something bad actually happen from ignoring these emails?

I get them all the time. Half the time I know my details are correct so I just trash it, nothing's ever come about it. But if I have the time, or I'm bored, I click the link, look at my details and then close out.

Received these a couple of times. Details were correct so I trashed the mail too.

I too keep getting such emails from time to time. But then I know that my details are correct so i dont care to even cross check it lol.

If your details are correct, you can ignore this email. But if they are not correct, I'd update the details.

I have never received such emails or maybe they go straight into spam (I rarely check spam)

I check my spam folder every day. It is nice to laugh at those messages.

Title says: "Urgent...Check ASAP!!!!!"

Message: Discover how I made $500/day 100% on auto pilot!!"

Then a crappy link to .info website. And the website is horribly made, full of spelling errors (kinda like my posts

), and product priced $2.

Maybe I should send them message with a link to Internet Marketing Basics" website. The website would say only this: "Do not spam others!"
