Phishing.

The URL, disguised as pointing to an apparently legitimate
source, actually takes you to a site that tries to collect your
personal information. Observe:

  http://www.hawaii.edu:phishing@2158717063/pn/

If you think that link will actually take you to UH's homepage,
I must solicit your strictest confidence in a 100% safe overseas
transaction!
