I would like to point out to those who read this, that the site noted in this scam email is the legitimate China Construction Bank. http://www.ccbhk.com/
Domain Name: CCBHK.COM
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
Referral URL: http://www.networksolutions.com

And while Zhang Jianguo is the Vice Chairman, President and Member of Strategy Development Committee, China Construction Bank Corporation, (see here) he would NOT have a FREE yahoo.com.hk email addy.

The scammer has only put that link to the legitimate bank in the email to help make his scam seem real.
