Someone's trying to harvest clickbank account details. The email looks like this:

Obviously the from address is a free email provider. I this case - as the ad at the bottom says - it is a name provided by mail.com

If you click on the link - which is a valid clickbank address. That is... http://clickbank.com/login.html is the actual login link at the clickbank site. In this email, however, it is not the underlying URL. The underlying URL is actually: http://www.geocities.com/clickbankpolicy/clickbank-login.html

Again. It looks identicle to Clickbank's login page. But it is hosted on geocities.

Be very careful out there folks.
