I have received a phishing attack purporting to come form Nat West, and I don't even bank with Nat West! This was in the form of a memo linking to an on-line form asking for all kinds of personal details such as Name, Address, Account Number, Log-on ID, Password, Pin Number etc. Naturally I destroyed the email.
I prefer not to identify myself.
I recieved this loan offer today
I wanted you to see this and let5 me know what to do about it.

The guy Mervic York emailed me and asked me to be his penpal he told me he was dying of cancer we talked through email for a time then last night i was informed he died.But i have had many emails before that telling me i was made a benificiary of some one who died. But this one was different cause we were in contact for a few days. Can someone tell me how i can stop these kinds of email coming to me?
