    I have received this email so many times over the last couple of years. It is useful in that it reminds you not to give out personal info over the phone though.

    In work with me a few people had their wallets stolen. The first one didn't realise until the "bank" rang him to ask for his pin number. He went to his coat pocket to check his wallet and found it missing. Using work email he immediately warned 2000 staff their was a thief in the building. The suspect had been seen walking into this chaps office but as he was wearing a shirt and tie he looked like another employee. I now lock my bag in my desk draw at all times.
