So many of them around and I am not sure when reported they seem to do much about it. Lost count of the banks who have supposedly limited my accounts and I don't even have an account with them.

Me too Julie. Had the same bank for 50 years and only the one.
I also get the Tax one. I don't pay tax, I don't
get that big a pension. So up yours scammer.
Plus the latest one was purporting to be from PayPal. To
update my account but it was sent to one of my gambling
names so knew it was a scam as I don't use PayPal and
especially for gambling.
If it goes in my junk file I don't open it.

Anything that begins 'Dear Customer' with no named person is usually a phishing email.

Any similar emails which do use your name are best deleted and the company contacted directly.

I've had a number of those Julie and just bar them from sending me e-mails.
