I must get about 5 of these a day, and every one make me giggle, especaly when they are from a bank I am not with.
My advice, check out Welcome to the 419 Eater and see what they do with em there

Yep...but I keep saying this....
If the link says www.lloyds.com then it's probably OK...but if says!!
www.personal.lloyds.co.uk then it's not the official Lloyds TSB site. This is just an example of course.

Pmsl.
