Web Forgery Warning

Very sure I am NOT the only Citi cardholder to get the following e-mail. Posting copy here for benefit of any interested readers. In the event one decides to click on the link, I sincerely hope that you get the same warning as did I.

Immediately following is the red flag warning that my system sent when I clicked on the link in the e-mail. Following that is the e-mail that prompted this red flag. I use Mac OS-X if that is relevant.
