Today, I received this as what appeared as an innocent and plausible e-mail. It was only when I checked the URL (www.applestore.ms) that I understood that this was a fraud. It is incredible how clever cybercriminals are becoming!

Hi Martin
Now is it me or is this phising attack missing an important part?
As far as I can see they are not asking you to give up any of your information, e.g. credit card.
It sounds like it an bogus e-mail, but the familiar link “just click here to enter your credit card information and we’ll send your iPod right over” is missing.
Or am I missing something?

Did you receive this after actually placing an order? Where do the Your Account etc. links point to?
It is a PDF copy of a HTML page with plenty of embedded links to lead you to webpages where you will be asked to submit all sorts of personal information, including credit card info.
