Hi EVeryone

I wanted to warn you all of e-mails that have come into my account....I have had 2, one from HSBC Plc and one from LLoyds TSB Plc....The Plc is a big hint that its not from who its says....Anywway they say they have noted irregular activity on my internet banking account (I dont have an internet one) and can I download the attachment? DELETE, dont even open it.........ITS A SCAM!!!!

BEWARE!!!!!!!!

    Hi elaine hope you are ok this morningg/afternoon
    Yes I have these emails regular, little do they know I don't even bank there :lol:
    I don't open anything from any bank, even if it is one i use.
    I always log into my account and check for messages.
    Thanks for bringing this up,
    Juliepf x
