Received this email today, the bad spelling/grammar and dodgy looking email address suggest to me that is a phishing email so I have contacted Barclays on FB to advise them but thought I'd post here to see what you guys think....barclays.jpg

    I think I can still read your e mail address.

    Other than that classic phish.

    When I can be bothered I generally forward them to the bank concerned; most banks have a dedicated email for this purpose.

    Edited, although it's an old email, love letters will be gratefully received :D
