One small problem, besides the obvious ones.
I don't have a Citibank card.
If you're going to phish, you should at least use the correct bait.
Sheesh.

yeah, there have been a lot of these phishing scams going on lately. you'd think all of the misspellings would give them away.

That one was pretty bad, but I've seen some _really_ good ones. There was a slick-looking ebay site, plus a few others that might catch those who weren't paying attention.

Thanks for posting that. A few of the choice terms are going into my company's filter, right effin' now.
I HATE phishers.
