Then there was link (which I did not click) that would have probably asked for my User Name and Password. I just wonder how many people fall for this.

Good thing you are as sharp as you are, Linnette!
Reminds me, I received the most official looking email from Career Builders, their official logo and everything. It said,

Our program suite will be invisible for you, but you will be always protected from any fraud activities

ATTENTION: You will not be able to use our site without Trust and Site Security Suite after 19 of May 2010
I did a search and found nothing indicating this could be a scam, but just to make doubly sure I sent a copy to Career Builders and received this response:
Hello,
