I'm surprised you haven't had one before, and also from other pseudo
companies. They seem to be part of the scenery nowadays.

What I find odd is that warnings that are given regarding visiting these
sites do not tell you to look at the URL in the address bar. If it's not
a genuine site the URL will look unusual, suspicious, and probably from
another country. Never will it look like, e.g. LloydsTSB.com.

It's easier just to tell people not to click on links in emails. If you tell
them to examine the URL they need to know exacty what their looking for - a
dodgy URL could easily include lloydstsb.com eg
http://www.lloydstsb.com.xxx.ru/update/

I've had them from many other banks but this is the first I've seen from
LLoydsTSB.

They clutter my mailbox.

Kaspersky monitors incoming mail for known "phishing" sites and flags
them, as well as reporting Trojan content before downloading.

A fair proportion of the pseudo banking emails have payloads...
Click on any "links" if you want infecting. :-(

A lot of credit card "security" pages look like Phishing sites with a
URL containing a sting of random characters.

I get a lot of Lloyds TSB ones. I guess this is because they don't have two
factor authentication like some of the other banks, so it is easier to
break in to.

3 factor?
1 : Something(s) you *know* (eg security details),
2 : Something(s) you *have* (eg a dongle producing a number),
3 : what is the third type for your LloydsTSB?
