Talking truly abysmal pishing email

After recieving many quite convincing pishing emails mostly from financial institutes in which i have no interests whatsoever i just found this one in my spam box and couldnt help but laugh at the terrible english.

Here it is verbatim

"Good afternoon, unfortunately some processings have been cracked by hackers,
so a new secure code to protect your data has been introduced by visa.

You should check your card balance and in case of suspicious transactions immediately contact your card
issuing bank.

If all transactions are alright, it doesn't mean the card is not lost and cannot be used. Probably, your card
issuers have not updated information yet.
That is why we strongly recommend you to visit our web-site and update your profile, otherwise we cannot
guarantee stolen money repayment.
Thank you for your attention.

I hope you're mis-spelling of Phishing as pishing was intentional, if so

If not

Why is it spelt "Phishing"?
