I don`t know why these creeps bother. I NEVER click on a link in this type of email:-

It's called the law of averages.. they send out a million of these emails a day and if even 1 half of one percent reply they are profitable... they use off shore mail servers and it costs them literally pennies to mail to millions of people... just like the Ebay and Paypal spoofers... it's all about volume.... you'd be amazed and how silly some people can be and the less computer savvy they are the more likely they are to click the link and panic thinking they have lost some money or had an account hacked...
