Bad english, not Lloyds website (jinboran.com), suspension threat = phishing scam. More of a warning than a question.

I've always sent my phishers to that email addresss - but perhaps it's changed now that Lloyds and TSB have split.
Even though it is obviously a scam, a search on Ashley Machin shows she has a senior job at Lloyds Bank.
Here are some other LTSB scams, quite useful. Done before the split, though. http://www.lloydstsb.com/media/pdf_lloydstsb/email_sample.pdf

Still says that address on the Lloyds web site.
thanks VHG, I've not checked!
I've just had a similar one from Barclay but when I tried to send it to send it to the email address it wouldn't go through

They have a different email address for app scams. That refuses mail as well.
I keep getting one that can't even spell Lloyds- they say Llodys.

I report many of these phishing scams but I'm not convinced the banks/HMRC/Paypal etc can or want to do much about them because identical ones keep coming. I've had quite a few paypal ones this month where the headers suggest they actually come from payal.co.uk address.
the email address was provided by Barclays to send phishing scams to
granny, I send them to [email protected]
Sometimes I find that emails in my spam folder get rejected as spam when I forward them. For the forwarded emails to be accepted by barclays, lloyds etc I have to move it from my spam folder to my inbox then forward them.

Went through longish set of questions on 'Action Fraud' website. Result - some online fraud fighters will be informed while I was told to alert LloydTSB by forwarding it to [email protected] Why do I bother?
Thank you boxtops - I've just checked and that is the address I have - I have been able to forward emails to it before so I've just deleted it
Not sure reporting does anything. Just ignore any emails from banks. Norton sends then straight to junk.
