*** Important Notice from Lloyds TSB Bank Security Center ***

Lloyds TSB Phishing EmailJust when I thought the phishers have removed me from all lists, one finally arrives.

This is another one that pinches graphics from the genuine website, but the link is certainly far from genuine. The domain appears to be registered to someone in Los Angeles, and it's not a new domain. So it's possible the website owner doesn't even know they have this sitting on their website. But a Google search on the site doesn't reveal any pages, strange for a 3 year old site.

So don't press the link, don't visit the site - the content can't be guaranteed to be harmless. Here's a text version of the email.
