MAN, people are gulliable....
This phish was expertly done and hosted on myspace.com - it would have legitimately fooled even most experts.

We tell people to watch the URL (in general), but that wouldn't have been good enough here: the fact that the picture shows "login.myspace.com", but the page itself is myspace.com is enough that it would take exceptional caution to notice something was wrong.
