There is a distinct similarity between this Phishing Scam and the previous Lloyds TSB Scam reported in March. We've issued a new warning here because of the differences in the emails though, but we do see the same combination of two browser windows, which have been scripted to open to give the foremost window the appearance of being a pop-up generated by the genuine Lloyds TSB home page in the background. The absence of the address bar serves to conceal its mal intent since the URL of the forgery is http://68.21.106.132:4903/l/applypassword.htm, which resolves to a Ameritech's web space (USA) and not that of Lloyds TSB Online.

 

The Spoof Email ...

The bogus web page ...

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.
