Which is why most banks (at least over here) periodically send account holders an email reminding them that no authentic bank employee will ever call to 'confirm' information over the phone, and certainly never by email.

And why legitimate sellers like Amazon and even Ebay post warnings about emails that are supposed to be from them as well. Someone gets an email warning that their account is to be suspended for some reason (an update or something) and you the user need to click to log on to the site to complete the upgrade. Of course it is a scam to get your personal info. and not really from the site it is supposed to be from. My bank also posts warnings about fraud emails and such.
