Is this a scam?

Hey guys and girls.
Is this real?

No. It's a scam to get your login details.

Thank you that's what I thought.
What's the point though? It's not like they can empty my account with my Feb login?

Could be 2 things:

1. A huge portion of people use the same email address and password for things such as PayPal and other things. They can use that information to code a bot to attempt Bruce force attacks to break into it.

2. They can post loads of spam and they get paid every time people click the links as they're affiliate links so it's about getting it in front of as many people as possible.

Never thought of number 1, scary stuff. I'm terrible with my passwords.
Thanks

I'm also rather suspicious when the grammar is appalling.
