    There's been a spate of those going round lately. I've had several from building societies / banks I've never had accounts with!

    I always report them to the "establishment". You can usually find the email addy on the "real" banks website of where to send them to - and they shut them down.. however, these hoaxers soon start sending out new ones (sobs). Trick is to never click a link and enter details for banks or companies with financial links (ie. ebay.) then you won't get caught :T

    They're so common that I thought that everyone knew to ignore them.

    The funniest one I received demanded all my details plus bank account id and password to be faxed immediately.

    I had one supposed to be from Lloyds - no account. The email contained lots of grammatical mistakes and you had to reply to "llyods". I reckoned if it was genuine they would know how to spell their own name.
