I have been getting Halifax,Nat West and RBS ones for weeks now,I get at least 4 a day and they get immediately blocked and deleted.I'm not even a customer at any of those banks.
I got one from 'Central Bank of Nigeria', asking for my details. I have lots of accounts but couldn't remember this one, so I gave the Sort code and Acct for my main bank. Probably just a joke anyway.

Sweet Jaysus. If I posted everytime I received a phishing email from a "bank" or a nigerian banker, I'd have filled the website up.

Just delete spam, no need to broadcast that you've got some.
they are irritating along with the "urgent requests from paypal" to verify your account details
I get lots of these too but i report them as a phishing scam, mind you, that system can't do much good or else they would have stopped by now the amount i have reported : (

No-one can stop them Dot. Just delete them. There's no point in filling someone else's inbox with these.
