OK, the sharp eyed amongst you will have noticd that “INTUIT” and “bankofamerica.com” are two different entities. What you can’t see is that the moron spammer has sent out all the links pointing to just http://{int_link}/ rather than remembering to include the spam URL. No doubt the next version of this will have a malicious payload, so take care.
