Your profile has changed.

Here's one of those little sneaky ones - it even made it's way through spam filters.

This one, instead of threatening you with account termination etc tries to make you think your banking details. It doesn't say to click the link, just states that something has changed.

You then panic and try to sign on, knowing that you haven't changed anything. That moment of panic looses you your security details.

Very clever tactic. None of the usual "You must do it now" messages. But we don't bank with them, so can't be genuine!

Here's the email:
