The boy who cried wolf

It's the same old story that was told in the age-old Aesop's fable of the boy who cried wolf... For years we are warned to be suspicious of such "warnings" from banks, police, etc. if we find them in our inboxes, and then they decide to inform real victims by e-mail! If they have so much personal data, wouldn't it make more sense to contact the victims by phone or another way, so that the vicitims actually take notice instead of thinking they are doing the right thing by ignoring supposed hoaxes?
