I have just started receiving these emails. I am always careful about things like this and have never clicked on any links. Has anyone else been receiving these. I am not even an RBOS customer

Sounds like a scam. Firstly you aren't a customer, second there is a link IN the email and a bank would tell you to go to the site via your normal route.
Haven't had that one but in the past I have had a Halifax one and Barclays (neither of whom I bank with). I reported both using Google to search for the emails of each company, had nothing back from the Halifax and Barclays actually emailed me like I was the one doing it! I 'politely' but firmly emailed them back and got an apology.

I've had emails from just about every financial institution you can think of in my "throwaway" email accounts.
And each and every one of them gets deleted immediately along with all the other dross, unopened.
Opening them is also too risky, who knows what's in them, plus it's giving feedback to the spammers that your email address is "alive".
In any event, unless you know the actual sender or are expecting an an email from, say, a business, any others should be treated with the contempt they deserve.....dumped.

Hello. Hello_There I keep getting spam e-mails from those that purport to be the bank of scotland and paypal.You said don't open them but you have to forward them to online investigation etc and spoof@paypal.com. Is there an other way to view them without opening them.

I don't report them because, imho, I don't think that any kind of investigation will stop them. Spammers open mega email accounts with, say hotmail and yahoo, every day.

I looked at my Spam mail folder on the Virgin Media servers yesterday. Out of 35 spam emails there were 6 all exactly the same as the one you posted. Opening them in order to forward them won't do any harm, they are phishing mails rather than viruses.
