MSNBC Alert - Phishing warning

A day after we posted our phishing warning on CNN Alerts, the first MSNBC alerts dropped into the mailbox. They also look like phishing scams, both on the link where you have to go to the story and also on the "remove from this list" link, which was the approach used by the CNN Alert scam.

Clearly the bank / paypal email reset scams are losing impact.
