I got one too. I get these spoofs from others, like banks and even 
LinkedIn "someone sent you a message" emails. I have learned to hover 
over the embedded links before clicking anything. The domain will 
usually give it away. Sometimes in places like Poland or Russia or Taiwan.

Frank blamed Telstra. I wouldn't. Spoofs are spoofs. Nothing to do 
with the company/org that it is purported to come from. They're just 
as much the victim in terms of reputation impact as the receiver is.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
