Just delete it. Responding to the email "proves" they have a live address and can send more rubbish...0

Usually there isnt a lot you can do with these ones, however, those related to banks and financial institutions are always worth fireing off to their fraud depertments, most post email addresses for phishing emails to be forwarded to.

Excellent!!! I'll join the Scots having a guid laugh at the typo!!!
If the email purports to be from a Bank, they tend to have depts which specialise in these alerts. If it's one of those lottery winning ones, mark it as spam and don't respond as it will only show them that your email address is live.
Pishing! Excellent - an entirely apt name for it.Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0
