    Be cautious against such frauds. In the above email the update in red color was a link to phishing site http://secure.us-gmail.com/. I have sent abuse ticket to abuse@nac.net which is the abuse email id of that domain and waiting for their reply.

    Ugh, when will these scammers learn... If you want to scam an English person with a lame ploy, at least try to get a decent translator.
    If we do not plant knowledge when young, it will give us no shade when we are old.

    Why would we want them to learn better? It'd make them better scammers, and would give us less to laugh at when people are stupid enough to fall for it.
