I've just received this email - ostensibly offering to beef up my internet banking security.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

We can give you the guarantee that all your banking transactions will be completely secure.
You could start using VPN-connection right now!

Now when you click on the link, you get redirected to a site with an obscure URL - not a good sign.

But here's the thing to note: When operating over the internet, and especially for secure online banking, VPN reduces security, and most definitely does not increase it. When it comes to security product offers by internet or by email, be very careful out there.
