I escaped one of those by a whisker a while back, mostly because Linux tends(!) not to be targetted with these things.

I'd sent a message to a client around Christmas and had reply.
A couple of days later I received another email from the same person:

"""Oh, by the way, did you complete our New Year survey?""" and a link.

I mailed them and said "...the link doesn't seem to do anything useful".
Soon afterwards I received another mail saying they'd been hacked.
