Carol when I was with AOL I used to get loads of those emails. I phoned to report the first one too and I was told that genuine AOL emails have a blue
background but the ones I was getting were white. Everything else looked genuine though so I expect there will be a few people caught out unless they're
very careful.

There are loads doing the rounds at the moment, I have lost count of the ones coming my way. You must never click a link in an email, a reputable bank etc
would not ask that. I had to laugh at one the other day ... it was from bank of Scotlandia lol

There is invariably at least one (often more) spelling or grammatical error to give their game away!

all the internet providers are being targeted . I notified tiscali when I got my first one. I don't do internet banking so I know that any of the emails i
get from a "bank" are phishing scams even if it is from my own bank as they don't have my email addy. I send em to my spam link.
