I have had a scam supposedly sent to me from I tunes stating that an amount was to be taken from my UK bank account for items purchased, and if I did not want the charges made to go to the web site given to cancel. On that page I was asked for my bank details THIS IS A SCAM my I:T: my team tells me this looks very very authentic but do not give bank details.

Yes I had exactly the same thing. Looked almost like an apple iTunes email receipt but a few minor differences. Never click on anything like this as that's what they are trying to do. Happened twice in as many weeks.
You see the invoice, think 'I don't remember buying that app or tune'? then click on one of the links on the page and bingo - may be heading into virus territory. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS ON ANY SUSPICIOUS EMAILS. Keep your old iTunes email receipts so you can see. All the ones I got in (in outlook) you have option to report as fraud / phishing - which I did with all.
With iTunes or paypal (another one targeted) - you can always check on your account separately - not through a link on the email shown. That will confirm 100%.
