Do people still fall for these?

Not in this household - All online banking is done through me & only from manually entered url`s or bookmarks.

E-mails like this go straight in the bin. Though I did get a good e-bay one the other week, immediately logged in to PP to verify my account hadn`t been hacked, I reported that one.




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

When fishermen catch dolphin-friendly tuna, how do they know which tuna are being friendly to dolphins?

Its surprising how many people still fall for this.It looks genuine enough with all the right colours you get on the LlodsTsb site.

Judging by the state of the world`s finances, most of the bankers have fallen for them.

Any phishing emails I get are forwarded to the appropriate bank`s fraud mailbox. I`ve even forwarded kosher emails on occasion.
