The website has just passed your email onto the usual spammers scammers. The website in question even if it is genuine obviously has some major issues with morals.
I would not be too worried about it if all they have is your email address (hopefully its just a random Hotmail sort of one too).

im not worried
but the link sure looked good
i reckon it would fool a lot of people if they did indeed use that bank

I don't know a single person who has been fooled by these sort of scams, but a lot of my customers get fooled by those fake anti virus programs as they are getting more realistic.
It is unusual though a cars spares place being one of those dodgy sites.

As they are now Spanish owned, the monks have given up the habit and now wear shorts. If they had gone to Iceland, like the Mum, they would be frozen just like the money in the Icelandic Banks.
Welcome back, bell boy, with or without your shorts.

Give the poor sods something to do, after all, they're working hard to get your money.
Send some nice false details, I know two short words that make an excellent password in these cases.
