A very similar email to the one shown yesterday and again with the disclaimer about it going to irrellevant recipients. Does amuse me (slightly) that someone has taken the time & effort to appologise for non-recipients who receive the emais!But, of course, it's fake and an attempt to rob people of their hard earned savings. So I shouldn't be so light hearted.
The domain used for the link is ksetpon.com and does have a few references to it when I searched in Google. Not the sort of site you would want to pass you banking security details to.
Should you have pressed the link and entered any details at all, please phone the Abbey straight away (get their contact number from a statement, card or visit a branch).
Here's the email.

I've had this email - I've actually had it twice now. I don't even have an Abbey National account, so I can't imagine what they hope to get out of me.
Is there anything we can do to stop these emails?
You can stop these getting through with decent anti-spam. Your ISP may be able to provide some, or installing something like CA Anti Spam should delete them as they arrive. My personal email doesn't get any because the anti-spam is very effective.
Sorry, link did't work in reply, look at www.financehunt.co.uk/security/CA-International.php for more info and links.
