I just went to that site and entered in duff information, and it accepted it and then re-directed me to A+L website.
It screams SCAM to me! :eek:
If I was a customer, I'd be worried.I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂0 -
Just checked mine and got the usual A&L website (with pretty picture) I didnt check the URL you gave just in case, but it certainly sounds dodgy. The .com-v.nu. bit looks very suspect as A&L are .co.uk
It does look like your computer may have been compromised. You probably know more about IT security than I do but have you tried a Trojan cleaner? I run one along side my anti virus/firewall and it is always picking up stuff the anti virus doesnt.
Another programme, free download from NatWest and probably others, is Rapport. You can get it from here

To be on the safe site I would contact A&L Internet banking helpdesk 0844 800 11 44 and explained to them what happened, they may suggest changing all your log in details.0
