All right !!! I must be richer than what I thought:)

Several banks from around the world, but mostly from the UK have been emailing me generously concerned with the safety of my accounts with them. I feel so touched....that so far away they show that they care about me enough to warn me that either there have been some activity in my accounts from suspect IP's, or that a large sum of money was withdrawn - Oh my God!!!!!!!!!!! - or even just because they are doing some security clean up and need me to log in just so I won't loose my account. I feel so special :):):):) Special for all the money I must have on those accounts that I wasn't aware I had LOL No, really this a real concern specially because many people will actually believe it and won't find the dangers of clicking on those links until it's too late. This kind of emails are not knew and most people should know about them already and never click on those links, but the unfortunate truth is that even the ones that are aware of it sometimes do click. ANd it's only when they find something is wrong with their computers that they remember that the best way to get some spyware /virus etc in their computer is by clicking on links such as these. A bank will not - ever - send you such an email or ask you to click on a link to log in with your information. It's important to remember this. If in doubt or really worried the best bet is not to click on the link but enter the bank's url manually and see if there is any information there, or even call. But DO NOT CLICK ON THOSE LINKS!!!! In any case, anyone else receiving this junk? A few months back it was the e-cards - a friend of mine, even after my continuous warnings decided to open the e-card link - coming from someone she didn't know I need to point out LOL - and then called me in panic because she - late - remembered what I told her. SO, do you usually believe these emails and click on the links they ask you to?
