Google's Picasa Being Used by Nigerian Bank Scammers!

Just got this email from user "ATM Payment" via Google's Picasa Web Albums that looks to me like a the classic Nigerian Bank Scam that we all know too well.
I clicked on the link and it took me to an actual web album http://picasaweb.google.com/picasateam but if you reply to the email it goes to some Yahoo account.

This is something Google needs to get a grip on quickly b/c attaching their logo to something of this magnitude, even if its just one person who falls for it, would be extremely bad news for Google's PR team.
