To prevent this to happen please login securely to our activation link:www.lloydstsb.co.uk/online-data-verification/cust&usr=lalalaura-x@hotmail.co.uk&cvt=@0z21 If you have already confirmed your information then please disregard this message. Regards, Lloyds TSB member services." And i stupidly enough filled it out. After realising it asked for my ATM pin, internet account password/memorable information... i got suspicious and rang Lloyds TSB myself, as i knew your not allowed to ask for my ATM pin etc. I have had my card deactivated/cancelled as well as my accounts. I hope someone catches these idiots! The URL Address which was meant to be the Lloyds TSB one, for the internet account login, was actually this on the fraud site: http://shop.punkmerch.de/images/lloyds-online/online.lloydstsb.co.uk/customer.ib.sdBlogon/index.htm So if anyone see's these URLS on a Lloyds TSB address bar, they're fake! I hope i could help! I’ve been a victim of this idiotic scam! :(

The first Lloyds page looks exactly like the genuine one and here you enter user name and password only. Then when you click to proceed to the second page it looks very similar to the usual Lloyds page but asks for complete memorable information rather than just a selection of characters. Fortunately I was suspicious and did not proceed. No money lost and all details now changed. Lloyds advised that you should not keep any links to financial websites in your browsers list of favourites (or bookmarks) Instead you should type the address in each time you wish to use the service. By the way I was using Firefox so cannot blame Windows Internet Explorer.

The first time it just asked for my full memorable information (which i did enter :-( ). But the second time it asked me to put my ATM card no, CVV No, Expiry date, Memorable info etc. Then I thought that something seems not right. When I called the bank, I got to know that its a virus and they have cancelled my internet service. So far the money is there but I am soo afraid. I plan to go home and scan the computer twice and also format it if needed, make a clean restore point and delete any older ones. Mr. Gates can go to hell for all I care and he can take his IE with him. I am a firefox man all the way now...!! I got the dodgy Lloyds TSB login too.

But, sometimes, I just feels is this really need to conduct such a referendum? Since, it seems too political matter. Same like you, it feels very nice not to vote, since I’m not Canadian either.

Obviously have not entered these details, but it is worrying that this does not happen until I have already logged in ( Can see balance but then this pop up stops any further action and will not delete). I have bang up to date anti-everything ( from 2 different providers) but nothing will clear it!!!!!!!!!!!

And what could be more "local" than your very own backyard? Interesting concept -- that sheet mulching. I never heard of it until I Googled it just now. I've always had problems with poor soil and I thought if I just kept dumping on more topsoil that would fix my problem. Not! You've re-inspired me to get my soil fixed and to get started on growing my own food! Thanks!
