Sometimes these mails are not even from the UK. You click on the link
they give you, and the site you ended up looks like a legit one, like
a bank or an online shopping or auction site, and you give up your
details quickly.

Always check the SSL credentials before you type your credit card or
other sensitive into!

Anyway, if you forward the mail off list I might be able to help.
