    Its bad to even open emails like that because of "web bugs"-- The spammers get a message back telling them the email was opened and who looked at it so they know who to send more junk to.

    1. What exactly is a Web Bug?

    A Web bug is a graphic on a Web page or in an Email message that is designed to monitor who is reading the Web page or Email message. Web bugs are often invisible because they are typically only 1-by-1 pixel in size. They are represented as HTML IMG tags. For example, here are two Web bugs recently found on Quicken's home page (www.quicken.com):

    2. Why are Web Bugs invisible on a page?

    Wouldn't the scam worked better if they said "if this is a mistake, type in your card # and date)? That'd make more sense to me, if they want their scam to work.
