I always click on these and enter the requested information. Of course, I do not have my actual acount details to hand but always make something up like ACCOUNT NUMBER 66-66-66 12345678, NAME: MR INCREDIBLY STUPID, TELEPHONE: 999-999 999 and so on. If everyone did this, the phishers would never get any usefull information and would be unable to tell which are correct and which are not due to the volume of spammed replies. Of course, the downside of this is that the dimwits who do actually enter their real information might get away with it and not learn their lesson....

I was thinking of doing something like that, but it might backfire and you could get targeted with their spam and fraudulent e-mails from here to eternity.

And with all those spelling and grammar errors it could well be from Barclay's Bank!
