Do you bank with Barclays?
 

Then beware as there's a 'phishing' scam going on......

Genuine Barclays site: https://ibank.barclays.co.uk/

Phishing site: http://www.barclays.gb.com/

:nono:

You can enter any surname & 7 digit code to get you past Step one, but on the 2nd page it asks you for every letter of you password....:Yikes:

Grrrrr

Thanks for the warning!

Although how any customer who has regularly used a screen that looks like this:

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Can fail to be suspicious when suddenly it looks like this:

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

...is beyond me! Especially as the phisher's English becomes extremely poor as soon as they have to write their own instead of just copying from the real website (if exist) :erm:

Still, some people will fall for anything I guess.

Re: Do you bank with Barclays?
 

asking for every letter of your password is a bit of a give away. Not too clever at all. Would have been smarter to ask for 4 letters and then fail the transaction and force the person to try again and ask for the other letters.

One thick Phisher

I couldn't agree more Chris, but it does happen unfortunately.

Just thought I would share it as a friend of mine rang me to ask if I knew anyone that banked with Barclays. :)

I have to agree, it looks VERY suss.

Having said that, it does make me think of a couple of guys in Amsterdam.... "Congratulations, you have won the global hyper lottery....." and plenty of people are gullable enough to fall for that.

You could always enter a false memorable word like another name for balls. :D

Re: Do you bank with Barclays?
 

Well why are people going to this site?Why are they not paying attention to what addy they type in?why are they NOT listening to anything mentioned about this in newspapers/magazines/tv/radio and on the internet.Do they just walk around with their eyes and ears shut and brain disengaged? :rolleyes: :mad:

If people are stupid/lazy enough not to take the extra care about their online banking they probably should stay right off the internet altogether because they deserve to lose money and they only encourage these phishers to keep trying.I wonder how many walk around with their pin numbers written down in wallets and handbags? :rolleyes:

That is mailbox uk's address - I host some servers at that address :eek:

Re: Do you bank with Barclays?
 

Try using nslookup to get the IP address, then 'whois' to find who hosts the site. You'll find it does not seem to be the ISP quoted by Bifta, though I suppose there could be some DNS trickery involved.

Probably a false address - I don't THINK Bristol is in London!
