Seems like an old scam with a new give away.


That's exactly what it is. I suspect the scam has nothing to do with the company in question, just as the previous one had nothing to do with PayPal. The scammers make the page look authentic, but the common factors are that it is not secure and asks for the PIN. Those two factors should make any remotely sensible person run a mile.

If you have a look at the source for the page requesting the PIN, you should be able to see where it's really going.
