A Ha Ha Ha Ha Hah

This appeared in the Spam Folder today:
Security and confidentiality are at the heart of the Associated Bank. Your details (and your money) is protected by a number of technologies, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.
We would like to notify you that Associated Bank carries out customer details confirmation procedure that is compulsory for all our customers. This procedure is attributed to a routine banking software update.
Gotta love the grammar of those phishing-for-passwords e-mails. Kids, moms, and grandmas, never click the links in these! Even in the unlikely event that they manage to stop mixing plural and singular referents in such an amusing manner. Your details is protected! Note that while the link is supposedly to http://bolb9.associatedbank.com/, the link shown when you hover over it is actually ww1.associatedbank.com.4ssl.ws/, not the same thing!!!
