Gotta love this one. Especially the part that says "We demand that you take 5 minutes out of your online experience . . ."
The first time I got this phishing scam variant, since I really had recently moved, I almost thought it was real. It looks professional, it sounds plausible. Well, at least until you get to the "demand" part.
