I just received a Mobile-Me Phishing email. Has anyone else gotten these?

The link on the email was to: http://apple-reg.com/Mobileme/

Below is the text of the email:

Welcome,

2009 PST, but attempts to charge your credit card have failed..

Wow, this is a good phish. Usually they are full of typos or poor grammar. Aside of the PST and extra period, it was grammatically correct. The site also looked quite good. A lot of people will fall for this.

Forward the email to Apple.

This is a REALLY good phishing site, dam. Get this to apple A.S.A.P! We don't want people to fall for this especially with all the economy problem the last thing people need is identity theft.

The first word stood out like a sore thumb. "Welcome". Welcome to what? Website looks stupid too - large font for the small print...

Billing bit looks slightly convincing, until this:

"Address (We cannot ship to PO boxes or APO and FPO addresses.) "

Why would I care where they ship to if I'm renewing an online subscription..?

Not to mention this:

"Requires new two-year AT&T rate plan, sold separately to qualified customers."

Not that everyone would read all of that.

Wow, yeah, that is a really well put together phishing site. Apple definitely needs to be contacted about that.
