Seems like phishing season has started.
I just checked the spam folder of my gmail account and saw that in the last week I got several emails from Dutch banks telling I need to log in NOW otherwise my internet bank account will be suspended (or variations on this theme). I know they're fake, especially since I got several emails sent to by banks I haven't got an account with and the grammar/spelling mistakes.
Just warned my parents and sister. In the past I would have emailed the banks asking if they want the emails with full header, but if I got an answer at all it was to tell me I shouldn't click the link because it was a scam (duh, that's why I'm mailing you!).
It's been a while since the last phishing season but it still makes me very angry because there are still a lot of people who fall for it.
