I have sent an email to www.theskidoo.com to tell them about the phishing login on their servers. I'll move this to miscellaneous scams.

so do people not realise that banks DONOT ask for information on an email.even on their log in pages they do state this . If anyone is unsure you can just report it to the actual bank its self,either by phone or in person at any branch but of course not from the email site.

Some while ago I started to recieve fairly regular things like this purporting to come from Barclays. I simply forwarded them to the Barclays fraud department. They soon stopped.
