Return Address	Lloyds TSB Bank <cust-support12@lloydstsb.co.uk>
Subject	Official security information from Lloyds TSB
Format	HTML

Bogus Web Content?	Yes
URL of web content	http://207.150.192.12/temp/daniel36/l.html
RISK LEVEL	MEDIUM
WARNINGS	1. Email claims to be from Lloyds TSB asking you to confirm your account data by clicking on the link. You will be taken to a spoof login page where your details will be captured by the phishers. 2. Lloyds TSB never send users emails requesting details in this way. 3. URL traced to a server in Fort Lauderdale, USA. 4. URL disguised as: https://online.lloydstsb.co.uk/applypassword.ibc 5. URL looks secure (https) but is not - any information you enter will be sent unencrypted across the web, as well as straight into the hands of the phishers. 6. A script on the spoof webpage opens the page as a popup in front of the REAL Lloys TSB website to make it seem more authentic.

" Dear Lloyds TSB online customer! For security purposes your account has been randomly chosen for verification."

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.
