Lloyds TSB | IMPORTANT: Account Verification needed (June 25, 2008) No.4

Here's an email targeted at someone that doesn't feature too often - Lloyds TSB.

It tries to use the FSA as an excuse for needing more information - just so that they can snare the unlucky recipient into revealing too many details. There's no reason the FSA would make a bank collect more information on customers and they definitely would tell you to do it through a link pointing to http://portapropiedades.com.ar/sitemap/str/?https://online.lloydstsb.co.uk/customer.ibc?WT.svl=ibcplogon.

portapropiedades.com.ar does appear in other phishing results, but the main site is not written in English, so I've no idea what the rest of the site is about. Here's the email content:
