It has a Citibank logo in it, and no obvious typos. The link looks legit (citibank.com), etc., but when I copy and paste it, I get this (do not click on this!): http://%36%34%2e%31%36%33%2e%31%39%3...5%78.%68%74%6D

And when I copy the body of the e-mail message, I get this:

in 1986 NBA Software Ellis Island in 1946 Tatiana Grigorieva I have got The US Open cup of tea We've been cut off Can you help me? Angelia Jolie in 1821 in 1997 in 1997 FreeNet Star Wars in 1805 Alyssa Milano in 1906 DMX late night SI Swimsuit Issue in 1917 Teletubbies

They're getting trickier.

There was a fake earthlink message going around about credit card verification for people with earthlink accounts.

Last week, one of the spammers started sending a "you have a virus click on this zip file and it will be gone" messages to everyone in my company from "admin@mycompany'sdomain"

In an unprescedented move, no one in my company fell for it.
