I ALWAYS fill out the user name and passwords BUT I put rather obscure things in the fields.. Its REALLY fun if they go as far as home address and SSN

HEy dumbazz - These have been around for years. Never follow links in emails period. Same way people jack myspace p-words. And theyll say different things, not just ones like you got.
