Here there is a really good letter. I mean, really believable to my point of view, that is, if you have a Barclays bank account...

Of course, the comment at the end that you have to act in 48h gave me the insight (he! he!). A bank would give you at least 30 days, if not 60, to remedy to such problems. And holding your funds is better than losing it to some phisher...

Dear Sir/Madam

Please note that your Barclays Online Account is about to expire. In
order for it to remain active and avoid a temporal hold on your funds, we
need you to update your personal information, this is also a new security
statment to give our customers a better, fast and secure online banking
service.
Please follow the link below and proceed to update your information:

The link was going to:
http://202.3.181.2/.ibank.barclays.co.uk/olb/p/LoginMember.do
and not the real bank. So someone "smart" who would copy and paste the URL would actually end-up at the bank alright.

Thank you for your patience as we work together to protect your account.

Sincerely,
Barclays Bank Customer Service

*Important*
Please update your records on or before 48 hours, a failure to update
your records will result in a temporal hold on your funds.
