Perhaps a little reminder to all Cable Forum members is in order here.

I know that none of us will be fooled by any of these scams, but it is worth remembering that any company with security worth a damn will never ask you to validate your User ID and password or pin by email. In my experience, with most e-banking systems, if you need to do anything to the security of the account, you need to contact the bank IN PERSON or on the phone.

It's also worth pointing out that any halfway decent email client will show the actual address of a link in the email in the status bar (Thunderbird does). Not sure if either Outlook or Outlook express do this.
