[Taff]

recieved an email from barclays bank with my christian and surname in the dear title, it informed me of an unsuccesful attempt to access my account and listed the ip as 81.190.253.29... it then went on to give me my first line of my address together with my post code... it asked me to click on link to confirm address i think... the gramma was aweful not what i would expect from a security advisor from barclays.. what do you think ??

Funny thing is the ip address is in Poland.
Resolved 81.190.253.29 to host-81-190-253-29.elk.mm.pl
So the scammers could be using their own isp to make it look authentic.
