you probably should have started your post with:

"if you see something like this, DON'T BELIEVE IT!" :-)

I saw that you put that at the bottom of your mail, but in plain text, it

Hi, grimreaper.

Yes, this is an obvious scam. Thanks for pointing that out, but please do
NOT repeat the phishing message!

No, this email is obviously NOT from the WLM team! They will NEVER ask for
your password or any other personal information in email.
