It's not at all unusual to get SPAM messages from various banks. It's not actually coming from the bank, but they want you to think it is. If they send emails to 1,000,000 people saying "I am the bank, please click the link below and login to check your account. www.bank.com/givemeyourlogin", out of the 1,000,000 emails, maybe 100 people actually have an account at bank X and out of that 100, maybe only 1 person clicks the link and tries to log in. Then they have the login information for someone that they can use for theft and other things.

I don't normally pay much attention to what I delete out of my SPAM folder, but I just deleted 5 emails from Barclays. I also do not have an account with them.
