Here's an email for the Abbey - someone who's not been targetted recently from what I know. It uses the actual Abbey logo at the start of the email and an advert for the Abbey Credit card further down to try to convince recipients that it is genuine.
But the "click here" on the credit card advert doesn't do anything; it's been sent to undisclosed recipients; it introduces with "Dear Valued Customer" rather than by name; the link goes to a website other than the actual Abbey site. The logon screen presented is a perfect copy of the Abbey screen so it's very convincing, just don't be tempted!
Here's the email:
Dear Valued Customer,
You have a new message waiting in your Inbox Folder.
Click here to read.
Best Regards.
The Abbey National plc Security Department Team.

I have just received the same message and have never been an abbey national customer. It was not to undisclosed though, it was sent to a string of add@.... email addresses.
My email filter sent it straight to junk and so the links are automatically disabled luckily though i always google some text from messages like these before i click on anything these days.
