Internet scam warning

This morning I received an email, with s spoofed return of the Lexis/Nexis company, saying that all subscribers must sign in every so many months and I had not, with a link to click on to restore my account. I don't have an account with them, and the link goes (with a spoofed url so it looks like Lexis/Nexis) to an Indian webpage. It's a very professional job of fraud. The supposed sign in page collects usernames and passwords, and maybe a later page (I only looked at the first one) collects credit card data as well. I'd suggest getting the word out on this Lexis/Nexis fraud page. I assume they're using bar directories to target attorneys' emails.
