LOL, loved the reply, Had a couple of emails coming through recently saying there was a problem with my online Halifax account and would I click on this link to confirm my details, then Lloyds Tsb sent me one saying my online account was being suspended because of suspicious activity and would I click on this link etc.. trouble is I don't have an account with Lloyds or Halifax! They just try eveyone with all the banks names and harvest details from the unwary. Though you'd think even the extremely naive would wonder why ALL the banks had written to them. A while ago a colleague got the famous Nigerian money laundering email and was actually considering sending his details so the money could be "lodged in his account" getting all excited about the "£20,0000" he could keep for his trouble. He went a bit red when I pissed myself laughing at him for being such a greedy berk. Owt for nowt in this world.
