Topic: Phishing email nearly got me.

Just got this email. At first glance I thought it was legit, and was sort of panicked.I nearly clicked that "Payment Cancellation Form" link, but then I Googled "Rihanna&Drake" and got this. I also checked my purchase history on my iPod and found nothing unexpected, and then I noticed that the email it was sent from looked dodgy. So it was bullshit.
I dunno. I've probably just been lucky until now, but I hadn't previously come across a phishing email that had been convincing or gotten past the automatic filters. Makes me a little nervous.
Have any of you lot come across any scam emails that nearly convinced you?

You didn't think the iTunes store would use an email confirmation system that has HTML and stuff

My initial impression was that it was some sort of dodgy app that had been purchased, since it listed "app store" as the developer.
Of course, in hindsight I can see that it looks weird, but the point is to try and get the reader in the heat of the moment, before they can think about it.

I bought the entire Rush In Rio for 45 cents on mp3sugar because they had each disc as a single track.
