The first flag is that when you click the link it takes you to a domain that looks like Aweber but it is not.

The second flag is that I don't have an Aweber account

So be careful with this email because they are fishing.

    Might want to run a virus/malware scan on your computer just to be sure they didn't put any nasties on your computer when you clicked through. You never know with these sites.

    Also, it might be a good idea to disable the link in your message so that no one in this thread clicks on it.

    LOL

    ETA: By the way, another reason not to click on links in spam is because you've now identified your email address as a "live" email. So, it may get sold over and over again, meaning more spam coming your way. Yuck.

    Yeah, just got that one.

    Was about to post here. Another flag, I called Aweber just to make sure it's a phishing site, it is.
