Lloyds TSB Phishing EMailHere's a very short and simple Lloyds TSB Phishing email.

The URL is cleverly disguised: http://online.lloydstsb.co.uk.form-7857.login-en.us/start/customer.ibc. You have to look carefully to see the URL - login-en.us - which was only registered yesterday.

The email was sent to my email address, rather than 'undisclosed recipients'. This not only makes it more realistic, but also more likely to get through spam blockers. Add to that the age of the website, and a few people could be falling for this one.

There's no reason why a bank would suddenly annouce your account details are about to expire, so don't trust the email.

Here's the content:

Online Banking alert,
