I got a very professionally looking phishing email today, claiming that my account had been locked due to excessive login attempts. I only grew suspicious when it conviently provided a click-through link to 'verify' my account.
Sounds really foreign-like to me - that's my first rule to determine scammers from a legitimate business. MTGox's emails are more professional. Quote
