Another instance of a forged web page in a pop-up style window which is presented in front of a genuine Lloyds TSB page...

We are faced with yet another forged Lloyds TSB page in a pop-up style window which is opened in front of the genuine lloydstsb.com home page.

The forged pop up has a URL (see above) which resolves to an ISP in Japan and any data entered will be captured by a script located in the same web space.

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
