Whatever you do DO NOT CLICK ANY OF THE LINKS OR REVEAL ANY PASSWORDS, ACCOUNT NUMBER OR PERSONAL DETAILS, BANKS WILL NOT SEND E-MAIL ASKING YOU TO REVEAL PASSWORDS OR DETAILS. Some of these e-mails say your accunt will be closed if you don't update your details, just ignore it and set your spam/phishing filters to delete these e-mails in future.
The scumbags that setup these scams need routing out and dealing with.
