Thanks for the good advice. When I hover over link it says
www.rednada.com.a. Definitely a scam.
Wow it did not take Tom long to find a new business venture. Oh right.....just in....he was framed. Sorry about that Scott.

Highly, highly, highly doubt that Tom or anyone with AP had anything to do with this scam email. Phishing scams are largely ran out of Nigeria. Probably whoever ran the original MB scam saw the $500 being close to their amount, and re-issued the email with AP in it. They often take advantage of news items to make people think that such restitution is legit.
Once you get people's information (passwords, bank info, credit cards), you have to be able to purchase commodity goods like electronics and be able to resell them almost immediately in high volume. Takes a bit of a setup. Probably wouldn't be what Tom would jump to next.
