I can't help thinking that some people will be stupid enough to fall for this one...
Dear Sir/Madam,
Barclays Bank PLC. always looks forward for the high security of our clients. Some customers have been receiving an email claiming to be from Barclays advising them to follow a link to what appear to be a Barclays web site, where they are prompted to enter their personal Online Banking details. Barclays is in no way involved with this email and the web site does not belong to us.
Barclays is proud to announce about their new updated secure system. We updated our new SSL servers to give our customers a better, fast and secure online banking service.Due to the recent update of the servers, you are requested to please update your account info at the following link.

Clearly, in the email the text link doesn't actually go to where the text says...
It's quite clever don't you think? Instead of the normal... go update you settings here... it actually mentions that people have been caught out by phishing in it's attempt to phish you :-)
Well I thought it was clever anyway.
Email like this worry me as I know my Dad would get caught out.
