Is it still that way if you open a bad email it can get you just by opening it?
I thought that with all the protection at the different sites you have an email
address they scan them pretty good. Just don't clink on any link in an email,
that's when they get you. Am I wrong?

Heck either way I do not open any email I don't know the sender, stright to delete.

I found it in my spam folder. it looked real, with a link to click...any link with .exe.....get suspicious.

googled the email address of the seller and found it is a phishing operation.

opening the email, reading it...not harmful but clicking on that link..thats when the bad door is opened.

email is like electronic warfare, use that trash can. It's an instrument by which marketers, criminals, friends & relatives are able to correspond. It's those pesky "germs" or links that can cause us trouble.
It's no different than bulk mail that our mail man brings us. Every week I see these folks lugging around an extra 25 pounds of sliced up trees in the form of printed advertising, of which it's possible 98% of goes in the trash.

To the side and defense of the carrier.... they're forced by advertisers to carry the "newspaper". Some of the junk actually entices me to go buy something I don't need... like a newpaper without news.

mail advertising volume has gone down dramatically due to both 'this economy' and the rise of electronic media.
Printers, binderies, mail houses...all have gone out of business in huge numbers. The usps is suffering.

instant gratification (click this link) will lead to people forgetting these nasty things that are sent out, or lie hidden in the internet like tigers....so a post like this helps people get aware of this again.

also the 'shipping' alerts from any named shipper you can think of...these invite your curiosity also and are traps and fraudulent.
