For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.What you have received is a very crude phish. In fact it's so crude it's almost not a phish at all.
most phish claim to be from eBay or your bank or whatever and say you need to renew your password or account details and give you a link which purports to be that organisation. The link looks like genuine as does the site but in reality it's not and they get your details.
You can report phishs to www.antiphishing.org but often you'll find by the time you've got the mail the website has been taken down anyway.
Most importantly NEVER give any personal details especially financial ones if you've followed a link from another source - No matter how much it looks like a familiar website.
An example - if you followed the link above I just gave you and the browser flickerred a bit and you got the answerbank login screen asking you for your password - would you type it in?
You might be at my website I might get your password - is that important? I don't know - do you use that password elsewhere?
Worth thinking about isn't it?
