it's pathetic that I copy and pasted it? Or the email itself is pathetic? Because, that's the email, cut and pasted...
I normally delete scam attempts instantly, but couldn't resist passing this one on...

lol, why would I call you pathetic for copy and paste? I would call you crazy for retyping it. 😉😛

The email is pathetic...you'd think they would at least run it through an English spell checker.

I'd like to give the person the benefit of the doubt and say he/she is from a non-english speaking country, so of course he/she doesn't know how to spell... but geeze, lol.

If they actually would have spent a little more time on the spelling and grammer, they might have gotten quite a few hits from this. The scheme is well crafted, they load the real site inside their fake site by using a frameset, and then run a popup that takes the information. They also generate the real site address in the address bar which I'm sure would throw even more people off.
