Today's Fun Spam Email

I've been getting a lot of these lately:

We'd like to inform you that your Capital One Secure Messages Center has1 new message.

To access your Capital One Secure Messages Center, please use your personalized link:
http://0x3d.0x38.0x4e.0xcf/capitalone.secure.messages.center

Account Reference: (0x3d.0x38.0x4e.0xcf)

Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and you will not receive a response. For assistence, log in to your Wachovia Online account and click the Help link located in the top right corner of any Wachovia Online page. This email (including any attachments) is intended for the above-mentioned person(s). If you are not the intended recipient of this email, please delete this email immediately. It is private and confidential and may contain legally privileged information.

What's really a dead giveaway, besides the weird URL for the link (and that's not even where it goes if you click on it) and the odd account reference is that the disclaimer mentions Wachovia Online, and completely separate bank from Capital One. Somebody in Nigeria (or wherever this came from) wasn't paying attention.
