I suspect they use endless e-mail addresses so it makes it hard for the filters to trap them, these come in on one of my gmx mail accounts and gmx seem to block them ok

i get the santander one, i had to stop my wife from replying to a one from paypal saying she had been charged for using a game on facebook (farmville) . The fact that she doesn't play the game should have given her a warning but no. i told her it was a scam and forwarded the email to paypal who confirmed it was fake.
She still thinks the santander ones are real even though we don't bank with them and the arrive in the spam.
