Born Yesterday? The Wank*rs are at it again!

by BoredSelecta @ 2006-08-30 – 00:11:42

Just had this urgent e-mail from the Lloyds Team. I'm so glad they've alerted me to the fact that my account is in use by an 'unauthorized (sic) party.' Wankers. Who the fu*k in their right mind banks with Lloyds? I certainly don't!

I didn't think I had an account with Lloyd's either - but I'd better check it and give them my details just in case. I'm sure they know best. Er...

Oh, I didn't think of that mate. Good idea. I'd better give them my details too, just to be on the safe side, as you can never tell with all this identity theft malarky going on these days! bs

Tickling sticks always put the world to rights.

You're so right. I had contemplated a pic of Dodd with a single ts or a Diddy Man even, but, as it was my intention to make the post heartfelt and meaningful I felt that it was only right that I go for 2 ts's! Ta. bs

We got an email about a supposed bank account problem with Barclays. But we don't bank there.

I'm pleased I saw this post of yours. Never seen a scam email before so I wondered what was going on.

Thanks for the help, by doing the post!

  This letter is one of many that have ended up in my inbox under different guises. The clue is in the fact that
  1) I don't bank with them
  2) they're never addressed to 'you' in person.
  Had one form my BSociety the other day saying that my account would be closed on the 25th Sept if I didn't reply. Well, it's the 8th Oct and my account is still as open as a sunflower on a sunny day.
  Your bank/building society would never, never ever, ever ask you to log in to an online account online with details of your account. Or ring you for that matter. If you do have a phone call from your bank unexpectedly DON'T EVER GIVE ANY INFO OUT, and, ask them some serious questions. It's a mean world out there filled with people. Glad to have been of assistance. bs
