I would bet they probably got a few replies before they get shutdown. Too many gullible, stupid people out there.

 

[Miramonti]

I don't think this is a scam.

It looks more like an effort to embarass citibank or someone at citibank, perhaps someone pissed at them for some reason.

The worst of the bunch!

 

[Argo]

All these scammers are stupid. They shouldn't mention anything about entering your card number and pin, because that'll raise red flags with most people. Instead they should mention a new promotion, or new website or something like that. Most people would click on that link to check it out. A portion of those people would notice login form and proceed to enter their info.

 

[Mermaidman]

I've got a few of these myself. The typos are interesting--not your usual misspellings. It's almost as if someone or something went the extra step of misspelling stuff on purpose!

 

[911paramedic]

They go to all the trouble of making a website, domain redirects, mass mailing, but they cant hit the "check spelling" button.

 

[XZeroII]

I can't believe I didn't get this email. I entered my information, now what?

 

[XZeroII]

I'm pinging 211.239.150.170 999,999 times. Anyone else joining? Open command prompt, type 'Ping -n 999999 211.239.150.170'
