Member Since: January 0001 Posts: 0 Send Message	Bryan thanks for that advice. I have all the filters and stuff set up on my pc so don't get a lot of junk emails, but I've had three of these bank ones this week. I knew that they were hoaxes because a genuine bank would never ask you to resubmit your details via an email, but I didn't know that you could forward them somewhere to be dealt with. Thanks, Mandy :)

	There are a lot of suspicious/bogus/fraudulent e-mails going around from what appear to be genuine banks, I have had several myself recently. They ask you to visit a web-site where card or internet security details are requested. Obviously these e-mails should be deleted immediately. But before you do forward the e-mail on to <onlinemailinvestigations a t hbosplc d o t c o m> Let's hope we can help to put a stop to these fraudlent e-mails.
