I always have great fun with these, and log into their phoney page with a username like "yourmother*********inhell" and a password like "youdumbs**ts".

Keeps me amused for seconds at a time.

best not to go to their site at all. They can scan your email address, sometimes your address book and IE settings to get enough data to send you something that looks like it *is* for real.
