Another day another phishing attempt this time from a bank I don’t even have an account with. If I did have an account there are 2 telltale signs in the html version that it is a fake
1) No Name or Account Reference
2) Provides a “link” to the site
Which according to the Alliance & Leicester Phishing page, they will never ask for.
The final proof that this is a fake is that when you look at the text version of the e-mail the link does not point towards the Alliance and Leicester website.
