After a period where spam was mostly about poker/gambling sites there is another wave that is supposedly coming from banks. But they're not really believable:

The title says that they want to take money from your bank account with bank A (haven't got an account with them). In the body it tells you that they need to take the €500 from your account with bank B (do have an account with them) and it tells you it's from the tax office. However, the email it's supposedly sent from ends with @bankC.nl (no bank account with them either).

Last week there was a wave with emails where they did get the title, body and email address right.

Occasionally one slips through the spam filter. I wished there was an add-on for Thunderbird where when you press the spam button it would make a bomb going off sound and show a fireball when deleting the email.
