Often, they appear to come from a bank, E-bay, PayPal, etc. They look official and want you to log in from a link in the e-mail in hopes that you share user names and passwords that they will harvest and attempt to use to steal your identity. Best rule of thumb here is to type in the address yourself if you have any doubt as to its authenticity.
