Bank of America Autorenew Scam Email

I received this message in one of my junk email folders. 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 Report: Problems mount for certificate holders

This email was supposedly sent by:

Bank of America Autorenew

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:
