Lloyds TSB Phish
Phishing scams are becoming more sophisticated. Doesn't this graphic of a padlock make you feel secure? No? Good. It appears on a "security" email I received today, allegedly from the "Online Banking Security Team, Lloyds TSB Internet Banking". It wants me to "Please click on
https://online.lloydstsb.co.uk/customer.ibc"
to verify my details. The real web address is:
http://rio-bg.com/gallary/admin/online.lloydstsb (etc).
To find out if a hyperlink is genuine, right click on it and select Copy Shortcut, then do another right click to paste the copy into NotePad or whatever text editor you use. Then you see the real address. If it differs from the visible hyperlink, you can bet the sender is a criminal.

great tip.
Thanks, Jafabrit. I never know whether I'm being patronising when I post a tip like this. If one person learns something new, it was worth the risk.
British worry far too much about coming off patronizing.
Maybe that's because we are patronizing!
