"Several TUAW readers have contacted us about a MobileMe phishing scam. These readers are getting an email that looks surprisingly official (see below). When they click on the Log In button, they're going to a page that has already been shut down. That might not always be the case."

Everyone should know by now not to click on links in emails that ask for financial or personal info like this example. But apparently that isn't the case, since a few people have fallen victim to this particular scam. I have yet to receive one like this, but I've received some in the past that came from Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Bottom line of course, never click on a link in an email regarding your financial or personal information. Instead, play it safe and go direct to the website of the company that supposedly sent the email.
