The actual link 'View receipt here' points to: http://bodybymessa.com?64I1e=QAUSY1CQ943fh9378hOBsGSJTHS which already appears to have been taken down by the owner or the server hosts.
No danger remaining here then but do be aware:
- Always check the from address to be sure that the originating email domain matches the claimed email identity - Apple emails must be from Apple.com etc.
- You will never be asked to download a Microsoft Word Doc or HTML attachment as a receipt - if a receipt is not simply an online page it will be a PDF without a link in it! so watch out for any attachments in emails unless they are from colleagues or friends and even then check the address
- Links on pages will show you where they go before you click - just hover the mouse arrow over them before you click and verify the path in advance of following anything you are not 100% sure about.
We have seen this same email with: http://tidewatertimberhomes.com?8u1ItK=QIUBNYQASHUBQYUDP as the link although this ia also deactivated.
