Could anyone follow it. The people who sent it can't even write in English. Worrying though that some people might give out their details.

This is a scam.
The links point to a fake Citibank server asking for your credit card details. Do not go there!

I need one of those, very badly! I'm a female, and half of my emails every day are for Viagra and offers to, erm..., "enlarge my manhood" though medication and/or patches of some kind. Oy, I must add a spamblocker!
