Windows Security Warning - Probable Fraud

The following email was in my spam bucket just now:

Take care and do not respond to this website. ... JDH

I think it was in the Opera forum yesterday or the day before when I answered a post where a user kept getting a message on his computer. He provided a link, and when I clicked on it, the page redirected and I got a warning, I believe from the Opera browser. I closed the page and told the user to check for malware. The link I clicked on looked very similar to the link you just posted. I cannot find that thread anymore, so maybe the mods moved it out of sight.

FWIW, I was in Linux at the time.
