    I wish more people knew that! Any bank spam I get is often for US banks (though not always) so I KNOW I can't possibly have an account with them!

    I get legit emails form my bank, but they're easily separated from scammers by viewing the full header of the email.

    Yeah - I get banking updates and notifications that I have requested, but never telling me click on the provided link and yadda-yadda-yadda. It's common sense IMO that something of that nature is phishing and theft of personal data. Too many people just don't think before they click.......

    I mis-read Pomtzu's post - I thought it said, "I get barking updates..."!

    Today I got a spam e-mail offer inviting me to respond to ... uhmmm ... add three inches I get a lot of weight loss spam (try garcinia cambogia! try hoodia! try guar gum!) too.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    LOL. I get those too - but it has nothing to do with emails and spammers.
