Spam from "Santander"

I've had 3 e mails get through entitled "Important message from Santander Group",
which are clearly spam; why's the filter failing.
Have sent 2 on as attachment to Plus Net Spam Training but just received another:
Here are headers

Re: Spam from "Santander"

How are you so certain this is really spam? The e-mails could be from a legitimate source.
To be safe rather than sorry I've checked your spam filter settings and can see that it is set appropriately and on a reasonably high level at the moment so I'd be questioning the nature of the message and if it is really spam.

Re: Spam from "Santander"

Don't bank with them so that's first clue!
And Financial institutions never send e mails asking for such sensitive data.
eg from Santander www
EMAIL SCAMS and FAKE WEBSITES
1.         Santander will never send you an email asking to confirm security questions or update your information.

I've sent to their phishing address too.Just had another in same vein purporting to be from Halifax on line banking:
Subject title account restricting is being carried out
Not native English speaker me thinks!
Has a suspicious "Halifax Update Form" attached; html format.
Neither of these e mails bore any logos of Banks like many phishing e mails.
Neither had me appearing in TO line.
I assume many others have had these, and am concerned that less savvvy, who did bank with
them, have out of date virus prog/ firewall etc, may open form, divulge what they shouldn't.
If you give me your e mail Adam, I can send on as attachments.
I have pdf'd the attachments; want to know everything bar inside leg!
The Santander has very similar tone (to Halifax) so may be from same source as arriving at
similar time, and is a scam.
updateBoth come from same IP 184.168.193.94 Angry

Re: Spam from "Santander"

I've had several from "Lloyds Bank" recently (who I don't bank with), but those went to a non-Plusnet e-mail address.

Re: Spam from "Santander"

I have been receiving scam emails from Halifax, Lloyds and Santander for quite a while, none of with which I bank.  I have been forwarding them on to email@actionfraud.org.uk . Action Fraud forwards the emails to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau which is run by the City of London Police.  So far the number of scam mails have greatly decreased but not ceased entirely.
