These mails are not from MBNA. Do not click on the link.


I've discovered that most of them come from Korea and China. They pick
the images from a legitimate site but post your information to some
site in Seoul.


They're also pretty easy to pick out because the link has an IP
address rather than a name. Sending you to http://1.2.3.4/whatever
and sucking the information from inattentive people is much easier
than having the link point to http://www.mbna.com and attempt to
redirect the real sitename to their data-gathering box.
