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!
