I have to say thank you for posting this here.
I would probably just click the link when I get the email.

I'm not sure if you care of not but you forgot to blank out your email address in that picture.

The grammar is rather poor at a couple points on that email.
Get used to the emails your bank/ebay etc send. My bank sends all emails in plain text with no links, and with no images, keeping everything short and to the point, with perfect grammar. So when i got a couple graphics-filled emails asking me to confirm my details by clicking this link.... *forward to bank* *delete*

Any Ebay or banking mail I get, that don't address me by my given name. Is very easily discounted. I don't need to hover to see that it is a spoof.

I get the eBay scams, bank scams from banks I've never even heard of, telling me to update my account, before I had PayPal, I got scams from some dork telling me my PayPal account would be closed if I didn't update.
They're all just scams, looking for passwords and/or personal info on bank accounts.
Ever see a cod-fishing boat? Lotza hooks on those lines, fishermen aren't stupid, they know they probably won't get a bite on every piece of bait, so they make sure they have a lot of hooks baited.
