donedeal scam

I just wanted to let some users know that there is a scam floating about from someone who claims to be from donedeal, I got an email in my inbox from noreply@donedealstatic.com and the email read:

Donedeal.ie don't have a facility were you can log in and view your ads yet, the link at the bottom takes you to a login page at donedealstatic.com, it asks for your email and password I am guessing they are wanting to get access to accounts of people who use one password for every login. If you have fallen for this scam change all your logins immediately.

Some interesting results of a whois lookup on the domain name in question:
