There is a raft of phishing attacks going on at the moment, coming from "cara@ChristianMingle" which of course is a spoofed (fake) email address which uses your first name in the email to make you think this is legit. They start our with "Firstname, Ready to meet your newest match from ChristianMingle?"
They then go on with several lines, all like: "meishac is 21 and lives in Hollywood, FL, USA. Want to know more or see meishas photos? Click here!" It's obvious this is a trap and do not click on any of these links. At the least you will lose time but lots worse things can happen:
