NatWest Bank   
I'm currently getting one or two phishing emails wanting me to update my
NatWest Bank details. They must be real muppits to think anyone would
fall for this nonsense, especially with multiple messages. Anyone else
getting them?

I'm averaging about three a day from phishers using various banks as the 
subject of their security scams Alec.   All my email goes through Mailwasher 
first to allow me to decide what to delete before actually downloading in 
Outlook Express, and Mailwasher puts on the screen the real address that the 
given url links to, so they stand out immediately as bogus links.

As for falling for this nonsense, I'm afraid that despite all the publicity 
given to these scams, there are still gullible people out there who do fall 
for them.
