I got an email from someone I have never met, claiming to have gotten my email from kendincos.net. I had to idea what this site was, so I clicked the link, checking it out. I do commonly get emails from people I do not know, because I have a sort of support line thing.
I then responded to the email, letting the person know that I do not know of that website, and asking where they are from. Even though the email said nothing about winning anything, the email seemed a bit suspicious, so I googled the name. Sure enough, its part of a scam.
Even though I responded to the email, I don't think anything is going to happen. However, I'm just making sure. I'm thinking that it is only a response, and that the scam comes in when I transfer money. However, I did click on a link in the email (but no further clicking) and I responded. That doesn't mean that I'm scammed already, right? I'm not going to respond any further, but I'm going to be extra cautious now. I'm other than being a little paranoid, I'm totally fine, right?
The email is here:

These are all porn spambots which will eventually ask you to go to a site an enter your credit card nr so they can steal all of your money.
Mark as Spam and Delete and dont respond to any future emails, but you will now start receiving tons of spam from porn/webcam sites
If you reply you can handiest get extra unsolicited mail. I have a separate electronic mail account I use just for scambaiting and after responding to only one character, I began getting as much as one hundred unsolicited mail messages an afternoon inside two weeks of responding to him
Yeah, um never respond to these emails as it confirms that the email address is active and they can use your email header information and forge it to send other messages and make it look as though they are coming from you.
