Scam highlight of the Day:

This is a good example of a scam that may show up in your email inbox. You'll notice that they use a recognizable business with all the right colors and symbols. Also, they are offering something for free that you have to click a link to get. Everyone likes free, especially if you're into the particular thing they're offering. But, when you look closer you'll see the problem. Look at the sending email address, not the tagline but the actual address, and you'll notice what amounts to a just a series of random numbers. It's not always this easy. If the scammer is really slick they will supply an address that looks legitimate but with some letter out of place or an extra character somewhere in it. For example, in this particular instance, something like harbrefreight.com or harborfr3ight.com, so look close. If there's any doubt, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK unless you know 100% that it came from a trustworthy source. Scam filters do a pretty good job of catching these, but they can slip through.
