Its sad how many people get taken in by obvious and less obvious scams like this.... But I guess this is as old as the "knock knock: Wallet inspector."... There was a similar paypal scam that had "click here to go to www.paypal.com" which looked and displayed nice and legit in the email, but the href really sent you to a site in Korea that looked exactly like the paypal login screen.... "Thank you for verifying your information".... Indeed!
