One pretty similar to yesterday's Abbey phishing email. Again, still referring to the bank by its old "Abbey National" name and again rather interestingly still including a comment at the bottom of the email admitting you may not be an Abbey customer. Who do they think they are kidding? Why would Abbey have a list of loads of people and just randomly email them, not knowing whether or not they were customers.All the usual pointers are there - no personalisation; strange URL displayed; even stranger target URL. Don't click on the link - it appears to be personalised so they will know exactly which recipients have clicked on it and therefore they know you are likely to respond to spam. This means they can sell your email more and target you more. I've also removed the id so they can't track which email address they sent this to (wouldn't want them removing me from the list!!!).
Text version of the email is shown below.
