At least you know that's a scam. Got one supposedly from Cahoot the other day about a blocked transfer and it just so happened I have a Cahoot account and had recently made a transfer. It looked very convincing, none of the obvious errors. I didn't fall for it but I could see how people might and click on their fake site.

PS Sounds like the plot of Kelly's Heros.
PPS Your email I mean. Mine would have made a very dull film even with Clint Eastwood in it.
