Just saw an advert for Bank of scotland at the bottom of acorns home page, with a web address of bankofscotland.de

Had a look and cant figure out if its a scam or real?

I know there are some pretty estute people on here and was wondering if anyone could tell me if its really Bank of Scotland?

Yes, it's a legit domain, the Bank of Scotland .co.uk site links directly to it, there's also a bankofscotland.nl etc

See http://www.bankofscotland.co.uk and go to International Sites in their footer.

Ah thanks systreg, your a star.

Found the banner again and it takes you to a different landing page, without the footer on the main .de site, looked very suspicious.

Thanks for the quick solution, could not fathom it, should have just gone to the url myself and not the clicked through url
