This is doing the rounds again, i first saw it a couple of years ago, but ive had three this last fortnight

If you recieve this and it gets through your spam filter, do not click the link in the email, it will take you to a false login page, where if your details are automatically filled in by your browser, the moment they auto fill in, the scammers have you details and your account will be empty in no time. I tested the link and reported it from a machine that has no personal information of mine on it. So dont think I got caught out by this
Here is a copy of the mail, for safety purposes I have added asterix's to the login url as I wouldnt want anyone to accidently click,copy etc the link and end up scammed
