Emails Small Business website owners should watch out for

Most emails small business owners receive are legitimate.  However, more and more these days spammers get hold of the business email address and try to phish the small business owner for data, a legitimate address, or worse, access to the website.  Below you will see a recent email that has been going around the Internet to business owners.  You can search on Twitter under #spam or Google it to see more examples.  Of course, the poor grammer gives much of it away; even so, don’t get spammed!
