I have known for years never to respond to “free” prize emails I have won from CVS” (and other name brands). But I never really understood what made them so bad.
a) What threat do I assume by responding? The fishers obviously already know my e-mail address.
b) I understand that these “free” prizes are not from CVS (or the other well-known companies). But, if these fishing emails are really lethal, how have CVS (and the other companies) managed to avoid law suits? What has shielded them?
I'd appreciate an explanation of the practice. Thanks. ….. batpark
