Oops this scam doesn't quite look right!

I just received the standard scam email tellling me that my St George account had had unusual activity on it lately and providing me with a link to check the transactions. The link has what appears to be a St George internet banking log on page, accurate right down to this warning:
We will never send you an email requesting your personal Internet Banking information or send you an email with a link to Internet Banking.
That one didn't quite work!

Warning: no Australian financial institution contacts its members by email to warn of suspicious activity or to confirm passwords etc.

    It looks like they just copied the site, but didn't stop to actually look at the content. I guess if they are operating from Russia or Nigeria, they may not even read English that well.
