Vanquis - security problem?

I wonder if anyone with a Vanquis card can please do me a favour and try and log-in to their online account?

I've just tried to log into mine and am being asked for some odd information. There's also an obvious typo on the address field.

After usual the initial stage, where it asks for my internet ID and last name, I'm now being asked to confirm an awful lot of information including my mother's maiden name, card expiry and so on. I really don't feel right about doing so. :undecided I've checked that it's the right website address, and that the secure browsing icon comes up, but even so...

    No - that's not the Vanquis site

    The date of birth and card expiry date fields are not in the correct (UK) format either (year is last on the correct site's "Forgotten your sign in details" page )

    Definitely doesn't look right. Looks like a site phishing for your card details.

    I've just logged into my account to pay my bill produced today and had no problem signing in!

    I would suggest closing the browser your using, clearing your dowsing history and type the address into the address bar, and not using a link from a search engine or anything to get to the page you require

    If it happens again, I'd give them a ring and confirm if there is some kind of flag on your account regarding security :)

    Thanks all. I've had my card cancelled just in case, although obviously I didn't enter any of the card information.
