It is especially dangerous to open a spam email with an attachment. You can get a virus very easily that way. But even without an attachment it is dangerous to open spam if you do not have image blocking because it will let them know you opened the email, confirming yours is a live email address and guaranteeing you LOTS more spam. And of course one should never respond to spam either.

Best thing is to just delete spam without opening.

99% of the time you are in no danger from opening a spam email. They want your credit card number which means that they want you to reply.

You should be able to see from the sender NAME or the Subject Line that you don’t know this person. Don’t open anything you don’t know or expect.
