Yeah, I get them all the time in my Junk box from banks that changed ownership and names years ago, banks I've never had dealings with, and credit cards too. If I get anything that looks vaguely creditable I'll go to their site the normal way, unfortunately many people don't. I hope you scanned thoroughly afterwards?
I do get regular emails from my legal friends in Nigeria, but I'm still waiting for this inheritance, they promise me it'll be any day...
I have another email account set up and reply to them from this, saying I don't believe them - but will be willing if they can prove they are genuine by sending me just $2. They're not stoopid either, or they don't have $2.
