Here we have another scam email forwarded by one of our visitors
There's a few things that identify it as a scam immediately
It is not addressed to anybody
A well known bank using a @yahoo email address
The phone number is a UK redirect number, rarely used by anybody other than scammers
You could also do a search on various deatils in the email
First, the email address Click Here
Normally a search on the opening line will often show some proof and if not another line from the email, in this case nothing comes up yet, it just goes to show that it's a new script and all the better to post
