---------------------------------------------------------------------

Account Error,as a result of invalid logs by you or another person
other than you and bad transfiguration on our dbase.
Its strongly advise that you should update now,click on "Update"

Sincerely,
Abbey National Bank plc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
it had the right headers , and originated in TX USA , but the "bad transfiguration and grammer " was the clue , apart from I don't bank with the Abbey National
, I get these daily , even in the name of UK banks no longer in buisness

Hey, I heard that was a highly accredited school by the way, I wish I could go there.
, yeah it looks good ,
But I was happy enough to go to Hampton Academy , proud motto "a place for every child in life " or something like that in Latin , and it was a true boast , most found their true place in life , mainly in the local remand centre , then graduated straight into prison ,
the school had a nickname " the devils cauldron " well thats what the teachers called it ,
we called the teachers 2 termer's , as that was as long as they stayed ,
back on topic
no plishing attempts today ,they must have read my post , maybe they have ordered a new thesaurus

got another 6 plishing attemps today , I might change my user name on TMN to" plish magnet "
I did as instructed, but I cut and pasted the link into my browser , as my firewall won't allow email links to start my browser ,
I was most surprised ( not ) to find the link was a known plishing attempt ,
good try Mr plisher , but sad to say I don't bank with Lloyds bank either , keep trying you have about another 100 banks to go , but I will give a clue it's the same bank as the Queen uses ,
and they don't' email , they just phone or write and use a secrete password that changes from time to time ,
all UK banks have advised their customers on their monthly statements not to respond to emails , but to phone or visit their local branch , so it's all a bit sad and a waste of bandwidth ,

Thats funny, the best way ends up being the old way, "In person".
Why they are still having trouble catching old Bin Laden. He does the same.

Dear Halifax Customer

This might be due to either of the following reasons:
-A recent updates in our billing server ( Due to slightly problem )
-A recent change in your personal information ( i.e. change of email ).
-An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due to an internal error within our processors.
Please update and verify your information by clicking the link below:
https://www.halifax-onl

)

Thank you

LOL, this one was not hard to spot, "we have detected a slight error in your billing information. "
personaly I think it was caused by option 1 " (-A recent updates in our billing server (
Due to slightly problem )
" well it makes sense to me , I am allways having slightly problems, like, I am slightly late , drunk, randy, frustrated , anoyed , etc so it is resonable servers also get slightly problem , lol ,
BTW,
I use mail washer ,and give then a preview then dump them off my ISP's server,
mail washer will do that automaticly , but I like to preview all mail first ,
in case I miss any inportant emails telling me I have won millions in a lottery I haven't entered

He must be inviting them in. I haven't had one in a while also. Spam mail Sir Roco. Special touch I suppose.

It's my ISP (Tiscali ) and it's infamous spam filter , if you complain they winch it up a bit , and then you get no spam ............or any emails
got a good one today "From " Google add words , a short message but mentioned payment 6 times , and the need to update my account ,
as I had never heard of addwords , it got dumped ,
I guess I am on some spamers list , not suprizing as the number of times I get forwarded emails with about 200 other email addresses including mine on them ,
and of course the greetings cards ,
today I got a funny from a girl student , it had another 32 female email addreses included , so maybe spam aint so bad after all ,
............that is the 3rd time I have rercieved that funny (cute puppies and kittens ) ,
Oh guys if you want some spam , the easy way is to find an email address in africa ,
just send a message like , "great news John , I have just won £5 million on the lottery ",
then sit back and wait
,
it's know as the reverse "Nigerian Letter 419 fraud, ) soon as you get replies , explain how you need to move the lottery winings out of the UK b4 the Goverment start taxing it , so if they would send their account details etc, you will share the money , as you trust them implicitly etc.
BTW, works best if you have a disposable email account for this ,
edit to add ,
Ooops ,dont try this at home folks it's ileagal ,
