The following message seems to me to be a copycat of all those banking scams
that ask for your details. I bet anything you like that if you register you
will find your credit card hi-jacked very quickly.
As well as being very cautious yourselves, perhaps you might alert
relatives, particularly those not as Internet-savvy as we are, who might be
taken in by it.
