hah nice try at "bank language". Not.

Is this related to that virus that redirects you from certain sites?

To answer the question "Who falls for this shit?" - MANY people. I used to work in the Password dept at AOL and I can tell you people fall for shit like this ALL the time

that's not really their site that you linked it too?

maybe there's some retards here that will try it

i typed in LOLfuckyouguys and hahahahah for the pw and it didnt let me in.,

seroiusly it seems like even though i entered real looking made up numbers it still wont take em.

i dont think they'd be turning down info.

I don't get it. WellsFargo.com belongs to Wells Fargo. It's not a fake site. Unless the email was html and had a different link underneath the one you posted or it takes advantage of that virus that forwards internet explorer urls to that server in Russia, this really makes no sense.

that's what i'm sayin

That's exactly what it does. Well, not using a virus, but it displays a name that looks like a valid link, but the target of the link is another site - you can see on the bottom line of your browser where it's really going.

oh so there's different html in the actual email.

i get it lol

i was like wtf that's their site...

Yeah, I was confused too for a bit til I thought about that.

No difference. Wells Fargo controls where both of those point. What url actually comes up when you click the link in your email?
