I receive phishing mail as well as spam mail, but the former are always in English and referring in most cases to entities that doesn't have representatives in my country, like some banks.

Notice that I moved the Links (Vínculos) bar to show the real address, and how the 'phisher' tried to apply one over the other, without success in this case.

I'm back (again and again)!!!
