Thanks Michael

I get loads of these emails allegedly from all sorts of banks both here and abroad - the big giveaway I suppose is I ain't got an account with any of them

I'd like to think no-ones that stupid to fall for it - but I'd also like to think everyone is sensible enough to secure their PC's too.....

Nice one ..

But who would input their details to an e-mail !!!!!

A LOONEY !!!!!!

Never ever give information to anyone via email. I never look at these types of emails DELETE.

I get a few of these each day too, plus loads of RBOS ones! They must work on quite a few people unfortunately

I just had one supposedly from Barclays which did actually look genuine at first glance.

But Mailwasher showed that it linked to somewhere in Germany.

In retaliation, I've e-mailed the sender a never-ending loop of the birdie song, in a Trojan form

Had one of those months ago, I just deleted it, not even in the HSBC lol

Well done

Although gmail seems to filter them very well, I get these things through my old email account all the time & since that account is hooked up to thunderbird it downloads all of them onto my computer. Twice they've brought viruses with them. I would so love to be able to mail something like that back to them
