Reported Phishing Website Ahead!
Google Chrome has blocked access to 188.190.99.224. This website has been reported as a phishing website.
Phishing websites are designed to trick you into disclosing your login, password or other sensitive information by disguising themselves as other websites you may trust.

Besides, the fact that the address it's pointing you to is an IP address and not mtgox.com should set off your alarms before you even click it, if the email alone is not enough...

Classic sender spoof. Nothing to worry about.

It's good you're warning people but phew it amazes me the scams and such Bitcoin people are falling for these days lol >_> it should be common knowledge now that all these companies already have your details and can do whatever they need to do right from their own computers.

It's very easy to spoof the "from:" address of an email.

I got the same email and just came on to post this. It is spoofed from [email protected] but the verification link points to a fishing site instead of the real one.

But you received the email from "[email protected]"? It's that an actual MtGox email account?

Just received a very well done spoof email asking me to "re-verify my account" at Mt Gox because I used a VPN to access it. Don't fall for it! It sends you to a non-mtgox IP address that is a very well done copy of the real one. To test it I entered bogus account info and would you believe it! I got confirmed! I'm sure they'll get access to some accounts with this...It looks very authentic.

Here's the text of the spoof...
