so if you need to get into your account from work?
or if your ISP doesn't give you a fixed IP address (as a lot dont)?
or if you are on holiday and you urgently need to transfer some cash?
Actually having just reread the email and noted the 'click here' link, if this email actually originated from Lloyds TSB then i'm
the proverbial ape's father's brother.
lets go phishing!
