I have received an e-mail from abbey asking me to re submit my online reg.numbers, i have been unable to contact abbey to check if genuine e-mail so have'nt done so obviously until i can contact hem, has anyone else received similar?

Nope but I would question anything that ask me to put in my details. What happens if you go to their website (not via any link) and try to log in?

Personally I would forward it to their suspicious emails account.

1) Forward the email to their security department (details are probably on their online web site).

2) DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING IN THE EMAIL.

3) Open a new tab, type in their web site address and check that you can still log in. The log out and forget about it.

Well done on not falling for it.

Forward it to [EMAIL="phishing@abbey.com"]phishing@abbey.com[/EMAIL] and forget about it. I get so many of these that I now have that address in my address book on my email account! And I don't bank with them either...

The bank would never ask you to submit details like that over an email, so it's definitely a hoax. They seem to target abbey for some reason.

I get about a dozen of these emails everyday- from just about every bank you can think of. Just delete them.

My spamchecker picks all this up and my junk mail box is full of them from most of the banks. Nearly all of them are very obvious fakes. Usually spotted by spelling mistakes, American spelling and wording, poor grammar, images pinched from the website and never addressed personally or signed off by a named person. Plus, the most obvious of all is the domain name they link you to which is never that of the provider (although not all email clients show the real domain name but a fake one)
