Me too!!! sometimes if you read the e-mail and then read it properly again, you will find bits of bad grammer, or something that doesn't look quite right!!!
I have e-mailed one bank regarding these e-mails, since the bogus e-mail uses a @(banks name) . com or .co.uk surely the bank can put a stop to people using part of their web address?0 -

I also get them on an e-amil account that I only use for signing up to web sites - not the one i use for my banking details.
I also get them from "banks" that i don't even have an account with.LOL:rotfl:I am a debt counsellor working in the voluntary sector - we don't charge our clients for the work we do!0 -

Paypal ask you to forward them to spoof@paypal.comTime has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
I got a phishing email today too supposedly from a bank.
I received it at an email address I never use for my online banking accounts and not only that the spelling was apaling (sic).
I guess I might have been tempted to click the link but the fact that I don't have an account with them quite put me off!
Methinks those who like to phish ought to conduct their research a little more thoroughly
