Co-operative bank on line

[PeckhamRose]

Hi - I was just going to check into my Co-op Bank account on line.

The opening page said that there is a new address for it - .co.uk

Does anyone else know this to be true or is this a clever scam by someone who has hacked in to Co-op bank's webpage?

Thanks.

www.co-operativebank.co.uk is kosher.

when you go to login (but before you actually type the id and password) check the address bar - you should see some sort of padlock and the address will start with https instead of http

if you went to your normal address and it redirected you I wouldn't worry anyway. It's only when you click on a link in an email that I would be extra careful

For UK domains, do a Whois lookup for the domain at http://www.nominet.org.uk. Nominet are the people who register them.

You need to enter just the Top Level Domain, so in this case just enter co-operativebank.co.uk .

For domains registered elsewhere, try a Whois server such as http://whois.domaintools.com/
