Beware - another new SPAM trick

I've just gotten the second piece of very clever spam in a week.
Basically I got an email which appeared to be a receipt for an
online purchase of a site membership to an innocuously named
site (I won't even give the URL because a cursory examination
of WGETted-HTML showed me that this is a pr0n site that will
pop up crap everywhere).
The receipt was not addressed to me, it was for one
"James McWorthe" of Pittsburgh. But it contained an account
name and password and a link to the site.
I was supposed to think "oops, they sent me his password. Hmmm,
better check this out. " Fortunately I saw through this one, or I
would still be killing popups.
Beware.
