I received this in my inbox today

Thiss messaage was _sent _by the _Citibank server to
veerify _your _EMAIL addres.
You muust cplomete this preocss by clicking on_the_link
beelow and enntering in the smal window_ your Citi
_Debit_ Card number and Pin that you_use on_the _ATM_.
This_is done for Your peorcttion -L- becaurse some of_our
memmbers no lnoegr have acecss to their email adsedress
and we must verify it.

That's the formatting it came with. Even if I did believe the address was real - never mind that the SMTP server is in Singapore - the spelling certainly would have tipped me off.

Someone should at least offer them translation services.

If lorax will bother to put their address on a page that is visited by an email harvester they may hope to be spammed by a fake translation service. ;)
