Fraud victim

Yeah lesson learned, went back and had a look at the email and its very convincing.

they still managed to ring lloyds up pretending to be me and then transferred all my money out of my savings account, then paid all that into a american express card they own and had a nice shopping spree.

When you setup a new payment for Lloyds then they send you a text to your phone. If you change your phone contact details they text you on the old number and then you can't make any payments for a fay or two. How did they get around that?

If you get any more spoof emails easy way to tell if it's fake is hover over the hyperlink and you'll notice the site it's trying to take you to will be something obscure.

absolutely no idea! the lady said there had been no internet banking/app activity so it must have been by phone.

as they had to transfer it into my main account to get at it.

Really? I thought some sort of insurance would come in to play here (ie the banks).

*I genuinely don't know . I am just surprised that it will be shop that gets told "sorry we are having that money back, tough titties"

Brilliant
