Barclays Bank Customer Scam

I received a scam email message today, purportedly from the technical service department of Barclays Bank, a UK-based bank, asking that I confirm my membership details. I don't have a Barclays Bank account and the link in the message, which supposedly pointed to https://ibank.barclays.co.uk/olb/p/LoginMember.do/confirm, actually pointed to http://www.zoze.org/files/ibank.barclays.co.uk/olb/p/LoginMember.do/index.htm .

The website appeared to be out of service when I checked it and the scam webpage was inaccessible. I reported the scam anyway to doshelp@doshelp.com, which is an address associated with a site that tracks phishing scams, such as the one I received. The site lists examples of other Barclays Bank scams at Barclays Bank Fraud Websites. I also reported the scam to the abuse address at earth.nocserver.net and insidepool.com, since those domains were associated with the orgination point for the email message.
