The email goes on to ask you for your pertinent information, and then lets you know that the tickets will cost anywhere from $500 to $950, depending on how close you want to sit. I'll be honest - the first time I skimmed this letter, I thought it might be legit, and wondered if my wife had forwarded it to me as some kind of hint. But then I noticed the language was a little unprofessional and there were a few grammatical errors, so I decided to track this down. Sure enough, I found THIS ARTICLE.
I'm telling you, these guys are getting more and more clever, so stay on guard.
