Absolutely right - no bank will ever email you asking for information.
Also - if you get a phone call purporting to be from the bank and you are asked identifying questions - refuse to answer and phone back to the bank number you know is bona fide. I know someone who did give their answers to a 'bank' call - of course it wasn't the bank and their account was defrauded out of a lot of money.
We got one from PAY PAL today and it was a scam so we just deleted it ,All they want is all your details .

I get those fraudulent "Paypal" mails about every day, some with mispelling that would make a 10 years old laugh. Paypal do send e-mails sometimes, but will always include your full name in them.
On my B&B's website, I get e-mails from foreign "families" who want to come and spend 2 full months, no expense spared, but unfortunately they have a temporary problem with their bank and need my bank account specs to send me full advance payment, and will even reward me with 20% of the sum if I pay their plane tickets for them, blah, blah ...I wish i had 1 euro each time I delete one of those
