Dead Letter Box

I’ve been getting a couple of these scam messages per day:

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate your assistance in helping us maintaining the integrity of the entire Capital One Bank system. Please login as soon as possible.

How do I know it’s a scam? Besides the fact that I don’t have a Capital One account, the questionable addressing, and it fitting the pattern of phishing messages, the login URL leads here:
