WARNING: First of all, I would not advise anyone to click any of the URL's contained underneath, as I have not verified them as being legit, and suspect that this eMail I received was some form of spam / phishing.

Basically, today, I received the following eMail, but did not know what the hell it was about. It made absolutely no sense to me, and therefore I assume it is some form of phishing attempt. Considering I am from the Uk and all...
