I've heard of various versions of this scam - known as "phishing". Bear in mind that no reputable organisation will ever ask for your passwords in an email and you should be ok - if unsure, email back asking why they want the details - many of these will have fake or non-existent return addresses. Basically, never give out your details to anyone who sends you unsolicited emails. Banks have been targeted as well as the companies mentioned before, sadly many people fall for it. I do wonder why - after all, if a stranger approached you in a bar, claimed to be from your bank, and asked for your account details, would you tell them? I think not, and what's the difference between that and a unsolicited email?
