interesting new email scam

Just got an email which looked very much like a confirmation for an account that someone else had created. Like on a lot of sites, when you need to respond to the email to activate your account, or when they send you a temporary password, one of those. This one was for a bank account and it had a link that looked like it would be going to someone else's bank account.

"ooh, someone's super secret password... let me try it!"

I didn't go to the site to see if it was truly a scam... the email address looked suspicious and the url didn't look legit. Was enough for me. Anyone else seen these types?

There is a new virus out there as well. If I do not know the person or company sending it, its deleted on the internet before it ever makes it to my computer.
