RE: Beware of the Google Docs Phishing Scam (fwd)

Ah.  You dodged the bullet twice: your Linux Firefox didn't come up with
anything, and your laptop Firefox wasn't connected to Google so it didn't
provide anything useful.

In general, you should never bring up links that you aren't expecting on
your Windows machine since it's more likely to get infected.  (In this
case, it would've also have "infected" your Linux machine via your Google
account, but it was blocked for whatever reason -- possibly part of the
Safe Browsing thing that's built into Firefox, or possibly Ghostery
and/or uBlock.)
