Citibank Scam Email

Just a heads up to you all, I received an email today from "Citibank" (hear me mumbling the name and choking a bit).

This email was immediately responsible for my Spidy Senses going into high gear. You see, it was sent to a dummy email account and not my main email account (where all my financial stuff is run through).

Here it is - Beware:

It was complete with logo and all. Only difference immediately noted was the name Citi Bank. Okay and the web address too - how stupid are these vultures?

I keep getting similar things for paypal. Makes me laugh because I actually closed my paypal account so there is no information in there even if they managed to get into it!
