    It is a bit dangerous with the link on the forum. Some people might skim the post and click the link, without realizing it might be bad.

    phishing scams..not new..been there since quite some times...they send emails very professionaly..in that they imitate the background and images as if its the bank..but the email is spoofed..

    can easily made out from the mail headers..ah well this isnt that complicated..its simple scam...

    Its safe to click on the link as long as your not stupid enough to fill in any details.. Nobody apart from a scammer asks for any important details by email.. I actually got this same email last week. I don't bank with the RBS either.. Scumbags..
