You've got to laugh at these phishing scammers

Just got a phishing email purportedly from my bank telling me I had multiple suspicious login attempts on my account and asking me to click on a link to sort it out.
Instead I forwarded the email to my bank's fraud department.
The funny thing was though, that next to the phishing link on the email, there was an 0845 telephone number that you could call instead.
When I googled it, it turned out to be the Financial Ombudsman Service!
