WARNINGS

1. Scammers pretend to be a market research company working for Llyods TSB and request you send them various details.

2. A dead giveaway is the noticable lack of useful information about the senders, and no supporting references. The English is also very bad, not what you would expect from a company working in such a position.

 

" Goodday, We are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of LLYODS TSB BANK,the international Banking conglomerate."...

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.
