Bank Phishing - Be Careful

Over the past few weeks I have have e-mails from LLoyds TSB, NatWest, Egg and HBOS saying that my account has been suspended due to a security problem. Closer inspection shows that the messages didn't come from any of these banks. Probably not necessary to warn users of this site but best to be safe.

    I get them all the time, i find them amusing, especially when i only bank with 1 bank and i don't do it online lol! It is scary though how professional the emails look and i hate to think of them going to the not so with computers people if you get me. I was thinking the other day when 'Halifax' emailed me about my 'account' with them, if they'd sent it to my grandma she would've done exactly as it said, scary stuff.
