I think it's a fraud one because i'm not an Abbey Banker.

What should I do? Just delete it or report to someone or what?

Definitely a fake. Report it.

there's been loads of these going round - delete it or report it as a phishing scam if your email provider has such a facility.

Just delete it - I had a very similar one recently but apparently from Lloyds (who I don't bank with).

I get them from abbey national and quite a few other banks who i dont use! DELETE or report.

I have got "phishing" emails every day from all sorts of banks, none of whom I bank with, for the last couple of months. It's really p**ing me off because despite the "report a phishing scam" option I press every time, nothing seems to stop them. Not being very IT-minded, I guess they are being sent from different addresses all the time.

Have been getting these for about 2 months. Just keep deleting them.

I have also been inundated with false emails very similar to this one recently. It is definitely false.

If you got to Abbey's website and hunt around you will find somewhere (online form or email address) where you can report it. I've been getting so many that I no longer report them, I just delete them.

Obviously you never never never click on the link.
