Default Spoofing Alert: Bank of America

I received an email this morning, supposedly from Bank of America, asking me to "validate my account." This is a spoof, and if you receive it, either delete or forward to abuse@bankofamerica.com and THEN delete the email.

The email I received was to undisclosed recipients, along with a link to validate the account. DO NOT GO THERE! Whoever sent the email has set up a fake website where they will capture your login and password.

It is very easy to replicate the logo and look of BoA, or any other business for that matter(I know how to do that, not that I would!).
