Never, never open an email you do not know who it is from.
I get email claiming to be my bank and the IRS. I called my bank and they said it was a phishing scam. Same with the IRS.

I just delete. delete. delete. But every once in awhile a legitimate email gets thrown in the 'trash', so I scan my bulk folder before I delete without opening.

You can get a virus just by opening an email, NEVER EVER open an email from someone you dont know. Its not worth it.
You might as well delete that email address now as they'll all know you reply.
