No, there is an attachment to the email. You are encouraged to open it
and if you do your browser does so and runs it as a local file. It will
be a very good facsimile of some bank or other (I've had Barclays and
NatWest in the last few days) and it asks for all your bank details.
When you click submit your browser sends all that to the phisher.

The clue is that it doesn't mention your name, it says "Dear Valued
Customer", and also actual banks NEVER send out mails asking you to
complete such forms.

They *should* never do this. However, IME, banks do sometimes do
stupid things.
