MF'ing Phishing scams

A family member of mine got a very legitimate looking email from BofA asking for him to login and update some information in his account for security. The grammar, appearance, etc was very well done. The url was masked and appeared legit.

The source code reveals that the link takes you to this address:

Here is the Domain registration information (/whois):

A WHOIS on the IP that the domain resolves to points to the following as the abuse contact for the server:

OrgAbuseHandle: NOC1610-ARIN
OrgAbuseName: Network Operations Center
OrgAbusePhone: +1-213-627-1937
OrgAbuseEmail: noc@atmlinkinc.com

I would suggest e-mailing them, so at the very least they can shut down the site.

I got that same email this past weekend. It did look legit. Thank goodness I did not have a BoA account. I hate the bozos that take advantage of folks that are not aware that there are people like that who send those kind of emails.

I dont get it. I click on that link just to send them screwy info, but it kept saying that I couldnt log in because my account number wasnt right or something.
