I need more information to be able to help,
just remember to be on your guard when dealing with email and attachments for they could have viruses.
and the old saying is:
Never look a gift horse in the mouth, If it appears to be to good to be true it probably is. just be careful for there are some nasty people out there just waiting to take advantage of our gullibility.
Happy computing.

yes we need more info.
however if an email is from any source asking for your password and ID then its a fraud.
NO UK Bank will ever ask for these details.
Also if the emails sounds or looks too good to be true the the chances are it is de-fraud you.
NEVER EVER disclose your personal details via email to anyone.

That is known as "phishing", pronounced "fishing".
If you get a notice from eBay, PayPal, or your bank, then it should have your name on it because these institutions know your name from when you signed up for the account.
However, emails from the hackers are always adressed to :"Dear PayPal Customer", or "Dear Bank of Whatever Customer"... because the hackers DON'T KNOW your name.
Generally, if you get a hacker's email it will CONTAIN A LINK inside the email to login from, but a Bank's legitimate notice will tell you to GO TO THEIR SITE to login. Big difference...
If in doubt, just call the bank to see if they sent it...
