PerfectMoney Phishing email / website

Beware of this Phishing email
Dear Perfect Money Members,

As you may have noticed, Perfect Money website was offline or undergoing various software upgrades a few weeks ago because of the need to apply some new security updates to the system. Everything is fine now but we need you to confirm your account with us. Please click on the following link and verify your account info by filling the form. This is done because there is a chance that some accounts do not function properly with the newly updated system and we would like to ensure that you are the genuine holder of the account. In case you don't fill all the fields, and an internal system conflict occurs between your account and system database, your Perfect Money account will be locked down for an unknown period of time.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
