"Why are users expecting to get E-mails from banks where they don't have
accounts?

See the pessimist in my replies that it's cause more folks are
anticipating their wealth and fortune being tied to some gross error of
an employee of such and  institution granting them full access to some
millions that appears to have laid dormant for a few years time.  I'n
otherwords most folks have a bit of the take it and run ethics
builtin...it explains to my mind quite well why the 911 scams never seem
to be slowed in the slightest...

User education often runs counter to fighting human greed...


In my previous email, I said that there are two ways in which a person
changes.  In my opinion, the people to whom you refer are going to have
to endure a lot of pain before they decide to change.  That's one of the
great things about pain - for those that want it, it's never in short
supply. Pain can be a great teacher.
