I NEVER open a link in an email that has only the link in the body of the message, but nothing from the sender as to what the website is about.  This is even more true when the email has been sent to multiple people.  It's a sure sign that the person's email has been hacked and the link is spam...or worse yet, will download a malicious program to your computer.  It used to be that spammers left the subject line blank, but I guess they're getting wise to that and have started putting something in the subject line.  Still, if there's not an explanation as to what the link is about, I will not open it.
 Also, I rarely even open a link in an email from a friend or family member that has been forwarded from some unknown source.  It's simply too dangerous to open links that one doesn't know the source of or what to expect to see when you get there.
