This one seemed to be a very basic attempt at phishing. A very lame attempt really, almost as though the person sending it was just starting out and really couldn't be bothered. The email address in the to field was completely unlike my own - it left me wondering if that was the sender's email address my mistake!
As well as being sent to someone else's email address, usual pointers exist that this is fake (I include these every time for people finding relevant posts as their first time here):
1 - wasn't my email address on the to: field.
2 - not a personalised greeting - Dear Customer.
3 - no bank would send out such an email.
4 - not a genuine bank's website address in the link - it's different to the displayed URL
5 - even the displayed URL doesn't look anything like a genuine one
6 - and if you aren't convinced, I don't bank with them so it can't be genuine.
Here's the content of the email:
