Lots and lots of these emails take you to a site which looks identical to
the real one. The giveaway is always the URL.


The problem in the past was that some UK banks and credit card web sites
didn't have the name of the bank or card in their web address (or for
their login pages) so identifying some of the phishing web sites as
bogus wasn't that obvious.

Err, if an email could be successful phishing money from your bank
account, it means you must already have access set up. So don't click on
any link in that email - use the address you normally use in your browser.
