Bank of America Notification Scam Email

I received this message in one of my publicly listed email addresses, not one I would use for banking. So, obviously something isn't right about it to start with. The following is the break down of the major parts of the message I received.

Here is the subject of this scam email:

Bank of America Warning (certificate problems)

This email was supposedly sent by:

Bank of America Notification

Here is the body of the email:

[More:]

Bank of America Warning:

Automatic Installation failed for Bank of America certificate component.
The only thing you can do at the moment is to install the 4.12.2009 version from our website.
That is the same application with the new publisher certificate.

Proceed for further information:
