I know it's not the same thing but.

Goldfish Bank Ltd have been taken over (AGAIN) this time by Barclays Bank PLC.
So in the near future don't be surprised if and when accessing your "Goldfish" on-line account if the words Barclays crops up.

This is perfectly genuine.

(I truly have forgotten the amount of times this card/bank has changed owners)

I don't know if it's phishing but oldfogy and I have both received e-mails purporting to be from UPS saying they were unable to deliver a postal package to us, with a tracking number and an attachment.  As the reply address was tequila com I smelled bad phish.  I don't know what happens if you open the attachment, which claims to be a copy invoice to print, but it can't be good.


Edit:
I have removed the link that you posted so that no one tries it out of curiosity

And a new VIRUS one that is also dong the rounds is:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/22/fake_alonso_car_crash_trojan/

The fake news story, supposedly from Spanish daily El Pais, has two-time motor racing champion seriously injured on Tuesday in an accident in the norther city of Bilbao. The bogus story, distributed via spam emails, links to a video clip depicting what appears to be a spectacular blaze. The clip installs malware onto the PC of those falling for the ruse.
