Yes, but thats the point, where do you look for security, to the damn browser bar, nice green colour, nice locked symbol, starts with a https address, and its the correct address.
Fine that i may know the flakey bit is below, but it looks seemless, if they had asked for just a small amount of detail less than they did, or if they had not used the ATM wording, or laid out their collection boxes in a more legitimate manner, then you could have been totally caught out.
I can explain in basic terms to most people what to look for, when they should look for safety and security, but this? If asked over a phone by one of my parents? I doubt I would have been able to explain things.
My bank, Ulster Bank, a subdiv of natwest and thus of RBS, does state on their login screens, that they will never ask for your card details, nor that they will never ask for a password or a pin number in full. That would be the saving grace.
