C'mon now guys! Can't you even make an attempt to locate an English-speaking hacker before launching your elablorate phishing scheme? A while back I almost fell for one of these, because they used the actual Earthlink logo and everything, but I've learned to read between the lines on these and spot the telltale grammatical and syntactical errors that give the whole game away.
This one that I received today, however, is a really poor effort I must say. If you are stupid enough to fall for a gag like this after even a casual read-thru, you didn't deserve to have your own identity to begin with.
