I received a provoking email that contained the invitation by my relative to join a community website. There were two option Buttons displayed to join or not join it: Yes and No. (It was required to click ‘Yes’ to be friends and ‘No’ if otherwise!). I clicked ‘Yes’ and signed in the community after registering in it. I found there the name of my relative. But I doubted about the authenticity of the email as there was a mismatching between the nature of the relative and the website contents. I went again to the email and read it all carefully word by word. I found that it was sent by the community website itself and not by the relative. I enquired the relative about sending me such an email. The answer was a ‘No’! Similarly there was another such email in the IN BOX from another relative of (me and) the first mentioned relative! I enquired about it again and confirmed that it is a tricking into joining the community. Beware of this trick. Your name and email address could be used like this to trick-and-cheat your friends or relatives!
