Dyslexic Phishing

Today I got this rather amusing attempt at a phishing email. It, ah, speaks for itself. Use "view source" to be further amused.


De‮ra‬ Ci‮nabit‬k Mem‮eb‬r,



T‮sih‬ em‮ia‬l was s‮tne‬ by the Citi‮nab‬k se‮revr‬ to v‮fire‬y y‮ruo‬ em‮lia‬ a‮erdd‬ss. You m‮tsu‬ com‮elp‬te t‮sih‬ pro‮ssec‬ by cl‮nikci‬g

Not only is it illegible, the URL features a triple Google redirect to nowhere at all.
