That is very, very low

The news story link didn't work for me because it said cookies had to be activated for azcentral or whatever it is.

What I did was go to azcentral.com which makes the cookie the come back here then click the link and then it works.

Do not click on email links before seeing what the actual link is. It shows up at the bottom left on IE.

I got the same thing and my take on this is it is a site phishing for info. My cookies are active unless I put the browser in "private" mode. This is IE 11.(something) here.

I received a similar email from a Mortuary maybe a few months ago.

Remember it mentioned my sister and that was just offensive if it was for real.

Don't have a sister, so I began to see it for what it was, a terrible approach with an advertisement.

Noticed that it was not from any local known group and did a search and it was from up north somewhere.

It made me think, WTF, this just ain't cool.
