There's also http://www.banksafeonline.org.uk/ but personally I'd just delete and forget, the effort to return ratio is probably really dire (i.e. why waste the effort reporting it, or hundreds more like it when seriously unlikely it would be actioned or is even capable of being actioned).

The only true solution is for everyone not to fall for them. So delete and forget and make sure you keep everyone and yourself vigilent over them. If nobody falls for them they become no longer profitable and then there's no point in sending them. Same with any spam for that matter.

There's a much better one, allegedly from the Halifax Bank, which warns you about phishing scams, and asks you to "just click here"... :rotfl:
