Perhaps you should write back to them and ask why they are telling deliberate lies. And then add, "Oh sorry, forgot for a moment that you're a bank." Also mention that there are legal repercussions under European law surrounding abuse of truth in advertising.

They are not telling lies. Every item in the list is correct.

True, but since this was sent out I have received numerous messages / calls from friends and family (who know I'm into BTC) that are telling me:
"OMG OMG SEE! EVEN THE BANKS ARE WARNING YOU! I TOLD YOU SO!"

Every story has two or more sides to it; but here they deliberately target some unaware / uneducated (in regards to BTC, that is) mass to deliver some kind of proactive strike. The only upside to this is that the people who received this will maybe, just maybe, think for themselves and do the proper research. (and make up their own mind instead of blindly following the banks' communiqué)
