Another phishing email

[KdLaneJr]

I figure this is just another phishing email. Thought I'd toss the info out here so others that haven't received it yet can be aware. The link they reference in the end goes to a domain that contains cdc.gov and ends with .yhnbam.im Needless to say.... Don't click on the link if you get the email.

"You have received this e-mail because of the launching of State Vaccination H1N1 Program.
You need to create your personal H1N1 (swine flu) Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov website. The Vaccination is not obligatory, but every person that has reached the age of 18 has to have his personal Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov site. This profile has to be created both for the vaccinated people and the not-vaccinated ones. This profile is used for the registering system of vaccinated and not-vaccinated people.
Create your Personal H1N1 Vaccination Profile using the link:"

That's bogus ... the H1N1 vaccine is not mandatory and there's no reason to keep a database of who has been vaccinated and who has not. I think you're right, it sounds like phishing to gather personal information.

It is also an invasion of privacy. I would however call the CDC and let them know about the scam.
