I just got this email supposedly from Wells Fargo. First I've seen of this type of email - just wanted to share with others. I tried to paste in the link without the hotmail referral (hope I did it right). Let me know if there's anything here I should delete ('cuz it has my info on it). Thanks.

I assume the link takes you to somewhere that either asks you, or infects your machine with bad stuff.
