This email seems to be legit, but when you put your mouse over the login link, you can see that it points to different site than moneybookers(I haven't put the link there so no one will click on it by accident), I haven't clicked the link, so not sure what kind of site is, but I can guess that this site imitate the login form at moneybookers in order to get your account details to access your moneybookers account.
It's just like the famous paypal scam emails that are going around, but that's the first time I got the moneybookers one.
Well, any way just wanted to warn everyone to not fall for scams like that, always check what the real link, and better yet go to the real address and log in from there and don't use the links from emails.

Never Click links in emails. If you have to, you should copy and paste.

well to me seems moneybookers itself is a scam. I withdraw money from them about 4 weeks ago and it still has not made to my bank account - no answers to emails at all.
Have tried calling them, emailing weekly and none.
