What am I to make of this spoof mail, claiming to be from Citibank? It's not even close to looking like something official, is full of misspellings, reads as if it was written by a five year old, and has an obviously encoded URL. This is the second such mail I've received in the past few weeks. Is someone doing a sociological experiment to find out just how dumb the general population is?
