Duh , another get rich quick plan of mine has failed ,
but to even the score I just got this , =
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Message! Account Error
Account Error,as a result of invalid logs by you or another person
other than you and bad transfiguration on our dbase.
Its strongly advise that you should update now,click on "Update"
to proceed.
Sincerely,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
it had the right headers , and originated in TX USA , but the "bad transfiguration and grammer " was the clue , apart from I don't bank with the Abbey National
, I get these daily , even in the name of UK banks no longer in buisness

Hey, I heard that was a highly accredited school by the way, I wish I could go there.
, yeah it looks good ,
But I was happy enough to go to Hampton Academy , proud motto "a place for every child in life " or something like that in Latin , and it was a true boast , most found their true place in life , mainly in the local remand centre , then graduated straight into prison ,
the school had a nickname " the devils cauldron " well thats what the teachers called it ,
we called the teachers 2 termer's , as that was as long as they stayed ,
back on topic
no plishing attempts today ,they must have read my post , maybe they have ordered a new thesaurus

got another 6 plishing attemps today , I might change my user name on TMN to" plish magnet "
I did as instructed, but I cut and pasted the link into my browser , as my firewall won't allow email links to start my browser ,
I was most surprised ( not ) to find the link was a known plishing attempt ,
good try Mr plisher , but sad to say I don't bank with Lloyds bank either , keep trying you have about another 100 banks to go , but I will give a clue it's the same bank as the Queen uses ,
and they don't' email , they just phone or write and use a secrete password that changes from time to time ,
all UK banks have advised their customers on their monthly statements not to respond to emails , but to phone or visit their local branch , so it's all a bit sad and a waste of bandwidth ,

Thats funny, the best way ends up being the old way, "In person".
