Yes, just a few hundred to date.

They come under the guise of just about every bank or building society going.

They also "come" from HMRC, eBay, PayPal........

What do you feel "suspicious" about? You don't bank with them and if you did they would not address you as "Dear Customer" so it is an obvious fraud attempt.

Many thanks for your reply, just wanted to make sure.

No, no, I'm sure it's genuine. Even though you don't even have an AIB account. :rolleyes:

Have you seriously never, ever received one of these emals before? Just delete it.
