Could be worrying, and tbh there's a reason I have never used online banking.

Although you still have to admire, albeit a bad admiration, the people who managed to implement this sort of thing.

Simple really. NEVER navigate to your e-banking using a link in an email.

Thanks for the heads-up though.
