    Fail:
    # fail to do something; leave something undone
    # be unsuccessful
    # disappoint, prove undependable to; abandon, forsake
    # judge unacceptable
    # misspelling phishing each and every time in a thread about phishing


    Firefox does not know how to open this link...

    Anyone who believes a major English bank could make such spelling/grammer mistakes probably deserves what they get.

    Even in such a drunken state, you won't fall for phishing... it really makes me wonder about those who fall for them.

    Dam!
    I knew the link wasn't going to work, so I clicked it, and as I expected, it FAILED. Just as I was taking a screenshot of the page(I was going to write FAIL on it and upload for all to see), using the screenshot add-on, it crashed my Firefox!

    Why do you always have to succeed?

    The funniest thing is I get loads of these from "banks" I don't have accounts in.
    Anyway, I send them all as attachments to reportphishing@antiphishing.org in the hope it gets shutdown before some idiot follows the instructions.
    Surely by now everyone who uses on-line banking should know about these!!! (& don't call me surely!)
