Suspicious email sent to me from "PistonHeads <update@pistonheads.com>", with an image of some text saying a new e-mail address has been added to my PH account, and advising that is this was incorrect, to follow the link to correct it.

Edit: Here's the image:

Beware!

This email did not originate from us and we are trying to currently work out where the list of email addresses they used to email everyone came from, we are currently thinking a concerted effort over time to gather email addresses with genuine response to adverts.

We are liaising with the police in Scotland Yard on this and they have already put the wheels in motion to get the site taken down. We have also reported the site to Google, Firefox, the redirector URL site w3t.org, Network Solutions the host of the site, and the site administrator for www.marlow1.com

If anyone has logged into the site then please log into the genuine site here and change your password.

We do not hold any credit card information against your account so they have no chance of getting hold of that.
