So just be careful
 
Luckily this went straight to my junk inbox, which I only check occasionally. I figure if it were the real thing someone would call me. I did have a scary one from PayPal the other day, it looked like a real receipt from them, so you might want to watch out for that too.

Yeah it seems to be banks doing the rounds at the moment, Mind you it makes me laugh at the spelling mistakes, I Had one from TSB Bank :D and they ended it God be with you

Stupid people. Mind you i guess all the former Finance directors of a Corrupt south american country with $500,000,000 they are desperate to get out have all finally got out, so i guess its now the turn of the banks, I just wish they would learn basic English grammar before emailing me ;)
