Spam info?

Just checked my spam filter + I've got a few e-mails from "banks" over the past few days. Is there a site i can check to see if its a known problem? Thanks

  • Be wary of any bank emails, more so if thay are filtered as spam.
    Only log into their website (not through the email) to check anything

    If what is a known problem?

    Ignore them - they are correctly filtered as spam, and like Ebenezer Scrooge says, only ever log on to your bank through the banks homepage, not by clicking anything.

    I would be 99.99999999% certain they are all spam. They usually claim you need to verify your details - a genuine bank e-mail would never ask for your details such as log on or password.
