RE: Internet SCAM - Barclays online banking

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

...and the wording and lack of grammar in the first bullet would also
suggest something's not quite right ;)

Thought I would pass on this info. Yesterday I got this email below.
When you click on the link everything looks as if it is your online
banking page you are familiar with but if you notice the address is:
www.barclays.co.uk then some random text and then@xxxxxxx so
if you only look at the beginning it looks fine but because the stuff
before the @ is so long what you can't see is the
@andrealsiteaddress.com

One of the log on questions is "your memorable word" which the
real
barclaysonline banking only asks for 2 letters of and not the whole
word.

The return path of: 4u093ap@xxxxxxx also gives it away a bit...

Look out if you use barclays online

HTH someone
Pedro
