Emails from Google?

Since free web-based emails put some of my important emails in my bulk/spam folder, I regularly and faithfully check it to see if I have urgent mails redirected there (to think I receive hundreds in just 30 minutes).

I see all the time emails from “Google Business”, so, thinking that this might be something important, I opened the mail. However, upon hollering my cursor over the link, I saw in my status bar that the URL is way too far from “www.google.com”. In fact, it was from a social networking website called “Perfspot”. Yes, the hackers have done it again. They used Google to retain the “legitimacy” of their email and redirect the link to their desired website (that sometimes automatically installs malware and Trojans).
