    A Bast**d I May Be ! I Was Born One !
    Whats Your Excuse ?
  • Yep, just received 3 of these, pity they are not on paper it would help fill the recycle bin.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Mortgage-free Glee! Hung up my suit! Xmas Saver!
    I receive these and ones from other places all the time, I just ignore and JUNK!

    Access to your accounts etc. should always be via your normal log ins and not via links from emails (spam ones are phishing for access links to your account when you click to access via their link - ignore, junk or forward to the appropriate spam report email address for which ever site/company the email are phishing for).
    Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
  • Watch out for phishing emails purporting to be from Amazon. I'm getting a lot of these messages to an email address that is not associated with Amazon. With Christmas coming up, lots of people are going to be awaiting Amazon parcels, so be alert. These fake messages do not have the order details in the message content, but want you to open an attachment as in OP's example.
  • There was a raft of nat West ones this week as well.

    Now, what happened to that nice Nigerian gentleman lawyer?
