Barclays Online Banking - fraud request email thingy

I just received one from "Barclays" asking me to log in and verify details...

Now I know these aren't new, but just thought I would share as you never know if one of your family/friends isn't that up on them, and that it was the turn of a Barclays one to go around.

Kind regards,
Steve.

Surely no-one falls for these now do they?

You'd be amazed. Hit people with barclays accounts and chances are good a few will type their account/password.

I have to admit that at no point did the wording/addresses/phrasing seem official enough (but as above it's still worth passing on the word), however I do always hover over the link just to have a laugh at the re-direct address that they offer
