Here's another one of those phishing emails that's doing the rounds that admits it's just going to random recipients. Had a few of these before Christmas, one was also a Nat West Email.It's even unimaginative in the naming of the target website - ssl--5jan.com. And guess what date the site was registered - yes, yesterday - the 5th January.
The excuse this time is a planned update and you the client need to approve something. Nothing is clearly stated, I suppose tell nothing and you aren't telling lies. Apart from the fact that no bank would mass email random people and ask for their security details.
Here's the full email (and note that copyright at the bottom of the email - last year's date).:
