Important Notice Lloyds TSB

This one has to be credited (a tiny amount) for imagination. At least they had the initiative to include the bank's current logo at the top of the email. And it's for a bank that I've not seen targeted for a while and a new message in the email.

But none of this is praise - the aim of the email is to steal money from you. So far banks have kindly compensated people who have become victims of such fraud, but how long before they all start to say 'You shouldn't have given your security details away!'?

Just interesting that they try to convince the victim that this is part of the genuine bank trying to protect the customer's security.

Here's the email. If you have received it, bin it!
