I usually have a chuckle at the spoof e-mails that appear in my inbox that try to wring my bank and credit card details out of me, but I have just recieved one that scared me.

It is a spoof email from Barclays asking me to confirm my details etc. etc. etc. The usual stuff. What scared me is the fact that the e-mail used my real name (prefixed with a Mr/Mrs!) and listed my full address in the e-mail! How did they get this info? Should I be worried that someone has me details??

It is definately a fake - apart from my personal details, it is identical to known scams listed on the Barclays website.

Anyone had their correct details listed on a scam email?
