Multibit phishing, beware!

Just got an email from "multibit" forwarding to a site that looks exactly the same and the domain is slightly different. Here is the email:

This is one example of the importance of saving the PGP key of the wallet service you plan on using/updating when necessary, and using it to verify the hash of the file you download prior to actually installing it on a computer that has access to any kind of sensitive information, including (but not limited to) private keys that contain bitcion.

For a phishing attempt it's very poor, if he could use HTML, why not hide the link at the very least? <a href="malicious url">visually real url</a>

Would you know if it was a targeted attempt or a mass mailer?
It gets really worrying when there are phishing attempts and you know that email addresses have been leaked.

yes forward the email but dont send it, scroll down. Not only will it tell you who all the email went to but where the email actually came from. I can bet info@multibit.org is not the original email address this was sent from.

User #1 on the scammed list. I wonder how they do it, reading between the lines and scanning for the download button...

Even myself I had to read it twice to see where the problem is. MulITbit and mulTIbit .. not that easy.
Quite good scam, just hm.. I didn't subscribe for multibit newsletter, so.. why mail? That would make me suspicious.

More generally: I have bitcoins; I need to be careful.
