Best off just ignored or notify the bank if you have an account there. I've been getting ebay phishing emails at an alarming rate since last Friday to an account I don't have registered with them so I know they are spoof. I've had as many as 3 on the same day to the same account so they must need some holiday money.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Most banks have an email address you can send these to. Hopefully they shut them down quickly.

From the RBS website:

"If you suspect a phishing attack, call us at 0845 600 8212 or forward the suspect e-mail to digitalbanking@rbs.co.uk"
