Bunch of muppets...
I had a text from them (well, presumably them as it said it was from "LLOYDSTSB") yesterday saying: "Identity fraud may be closer than you think. When times are hard, don't make it easier. Visit www.lloydstsb.com/security ".
Amusingly, if you actually follow that link (and please don't think I'm THAT stupid to click on the text messge - I manually typed it in!) you end up on a page with a link to their Online security http://www.lloydstsb.com/security/online_security.asp page where they say:
"At Lloyds TSB we’re committed to making your online experience as safe as possible. So in order to keep yourself secure online it is extremely important that you:
Never take emails or text messages at face value, even if they look like they have come from your bank. Remember – a legitimate Lloyds TSB email/text message will:
– never direct you to a web page that asks you to type in security or log on information,
– always quote the last four digits of your account,
– always greet you personally using your title and surname.
Never click on any links within an email or text message if you are in any doubt about its source."
