Does it? Not the URL I use for online banking with Barclays.

It's not the one I used either but it's the starting point for them.

Since you don't know the URL, how can you possibly tell?

I don't need to memorise URLs there's little point.


You are an absolute gift for scammers.

Yeah sure says the one that thinks www.ibank.co.uk is barclays.

Try typing ibank.co.uk into Google.
