  3. This is clearly SPAM never fall into these traps..

  4. thats a fake email address, buddy ;)

  5. Well, I will admit it’s one of the better scams I’ve seen, though still really stupid on their part.

  6. sounds like spam to me

  7. or rather phishing, i should say…

  8. Pass the Tartar sauce – this is a phishing mail!

    There are a couple of give-aways. The first is the language (“we are having some congestions”) -Google has folks with better literacy skills. Secondly – the real give-away – they want your password (I bet they do).

    I’d just use the DEL key and send this one to it’s rightful place (i.e. the great bit bucket).
