New Scam! Pocket Money Wins
To the uninitiated, this seemed to be an innocent email that announce that you won a little money, $80 isn’t much, just good for some pocket money. But hidden inside are more sinister plots. The link is not that of the bank but a phishing link to trick you to go to a web site controlled by the scammer so that they can capture your username and password to scam the money in your account.

I guess now that the scammers are more and more sophisticated knowing that users are getting smarter and will not believe that they won millions. They are now targeting the users with such token wins such that the users will not be suspicious.
