Be careful of Bank News Bulletins coming via e-mail. As with lots of unsolicited e-mail, you can unsubscribe. However, the "unsubscribe" goes to a bank logon screen that asks you to log onto your account to finish the unsubscribe. Not the usual way of unsubscribing. I got 4 all up within a few days a few weeks ago.

One I finally got the bank to admit it was genuine (a real effort with people who don't speak / read english as their first language). Trying to explain to the off-shore help centre that they were breaking bank policy proved impossible. Banks do not have links in e-mails that go to a bank log-on screen. The off shore idiots who'd sent me the News bulletin had no idea what I was talking about.

A second bank still hasn't even recognised what's going on. I sent the e-mail back and it was rejected by the bank as address no longer valid. I re-sent the rejected message to their "hoax" department who couldn't see a problem despite the fact that the address that sent me the original was not a valid bank e-mail address. Their off-shore help desk is useless.

The other 2 banks admitted that the bulletin was a fraud.
