Phishing

Should I be worried?
Like most of us I get the odd phishing email, generally these emails are easy to spot and tend to be way off the mark (from banks and institutions that I don’t use) so it is obvious they are just fishing.
Recently I have been getting a lot more and (it may just be luck) but they are all from institutions that I do use. Should I be thinking they do have some information on me and are looking for more or do you think it’s just a coincidence?
I will say I tend to be very cautious of such emails but it does concern me a little.

I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.
