[plug] iiNet phishing attempt

[Lance Duivenbode]

Hi all,

This is not strictly Linux based but I felt it important to spread the news 
anyway.

I've just received an email that is supposedly from iiNet customer support 
(sending email was info at iinet.net.ms) asking for me to 'validate' my account. 
To the tech savvy, this is obviously a phishing attack but it may be wise for 
us to remind those we know who are not tech savvy that this is bogus.

I've included the full text below - and sorry for bending the OT rules :)

Cheers,
Lance
