I got an email that read (insert my daughter name) wrote:is this your photo?With an link attached. I removed it without opening it.My daughter knows a photo of me. I am sure she did not send it.

Any time you get a suspicious e-mail, click on the sender's name and see who it actually came from. Not unusual to for the actual e-mail address to be completely different than the name in the FROM box. Mine go to the junk or spam (not trash) bin without opening anything.

Scam with a link to malware. There are many variations on the theme, and usually the English is not good. Your daughter's e-mail was probably hacked.

I am sure she did not send it.One of the many spam emails out there right now.They send ones about "is this your photo", ""broken photo on the site", "repost last photo", "please check your photo" and many more. Depending on your email program you may be able to hover over the link without clicking and it will show you the real address where it is going to take you. Many of the fake addresses are easy to spot as they are a jumble of letters/numbers.

just delete and get on with your day.
