Banking Scams

This is probably the most blatant and exploitative form of Internet fraud seen to date.

In the UK we have had traditionally 4 large National high street retail banks -
commonly known as the Big Four.

A few weeks ago I received this email in my personal email box.  I had recently
had trouble with my online login procedure and I did bank with Nat West Bank.

Because of this and the fact I was a little tired I almost did the wrong thing.

Since receiving this email I have received a dozen or so more from different
financial organisations - some in the UK and some abroad - all very similar
in style and all bearing forged Logos.

Here's what my NatWest fraudulent email looked like. Sorry I had to squash it up a bit to fit it on the page.
