    Just received this today. I receive scams like this all the time, but this is the first I've received for an Irish bank. The 'Review your account' link points to an Italian domain (www.distribuzione-informatica.it). You'd think they'd at least make some effort to at least use an Irish domain! :rolleyes:

    .ie domains are notoriously difficult to get. Trust me I used to be a hostmaster. They maybe thought a .it was close enough and would fool some people, which it probably did. I remember I had a maths teacher in secondary school who was supposed to be computer savvy once explain that "if it has .ie at the end then it means its an email". :rolleyes:

    I frequently get this one but it never gets opened so I've never found out where it links to. That's what the delete button's for.

    Yes.. but I didn't hack any website, I was just hiding my IP address, so I'm fine.. thanks.

    If I was a hacker, I would use Tor but unfortunately I'm not
