    You can't, as there will often be messages you can't reply to.

    The only way you can get around this, is to find out the banks complaints email address and forward a reply to the relevant address.
    The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.

    The email isn't actually coming from the bank - the scammers are spoofing it.

    Some banks have a contact email specifically used to report phishing emails to (I assume that's what you mean). I am with Natwest and their phishing contact is phishing@natwest.com. Try looking at your banks contact us info.

    Just delete it, the e-mail has nothing to do with the bank so why complain to them about it. However most of the banks do have an e-mail address you can forward it to if you check their security section on their website.

    Your e-mail has been obtained by alternative methods and the said message has been sent to thousands of addresses in the hope that at least one person falls for it. It is purely a co-incidence that you happen to bank them.

    Make life easier for yourself, just delete it, then move on, takes a second.

    These emails are not from the bank.

    and we will never, ever return.

    forward it to [email]phishing@you-bank's-domain.co.uk[/email] and phishing@cityoflondon.police.uk

    then delete it and forget about it.
