Fraud Scam

Got the following email today:
Dear Citibank Member,

This email was sent by the Citibank server to verify your E-mail
address. You must complete this process by clicking on the link
below and entering in the small window your Citibank ATM/Debit
Card number and PIN that you use on ATM
.

This is done for your protection - because some of our members
no longer have access to their email addresses and we must
verify it.

To verify your E-mail address and access your bank account,
click on the link below


Emphasis above mine.

NEVER enter this type of information on the web when requested by an email such as this. Once you enter it, the person has your ATM number and pin and can pretty much do whatever they want.
