Only probloem was the http address was completely incorrect. Very cleverly done though.

Although banks do send emails, never EVER log into your account using an embedded link from the email
Now that you have opened it and clicked on that link they will know that you did - expect to be inundated with the same sort of spam - they now think that you are almost a sucker
