Title: Lloyds Email Scam
Post by: RSJK on September 02, 2011, 18:15:40
 Please all be careful there are a few emails going around saying things like we notice unfamiliar transactions in your bank account and we will be deleting your account etc.  Please do not open or reply to them it is a scam.  I have had two emails now luckily i do not have a Lloyd's bank account.

yea i get them all the time, from every bank (supposedly), PAypal, ebay and various other places. Some of them are very good forgeries, and were it not for the fact i KNOW banks etc woudl not send such emails, you could quite easily fall for them. The moral is never believe any email until you have verified its genuine. Especially if its connected to money, account numbers or passwords.

Its like parking tickets obtained on private land, such as supermarket car parks. When you realise they're  totally uneforceable in law, its liberating, because you can park anywhere you like after that (as long as its private land).
