Abbey National E-banking Online Important: Verify Your Login -- ID: 8380

I like this phishing email - in a strange sort of way. Loads of indicators that it's fake - I think idiot's central sent it!!!

For a start the subject starts "Abbey National" - they now call themselves just Abbey. But they have saved the best for last! On the bottom of the email (as shown in the picture) is what would appear to be a Polish sentence or two about the mailing list providers who have sent the email. Really like that touch just to confirm it's a fake.

And then just to finish it off there's the comment that you might not even be an Abbey customer - in which case, why would they be emailing you.

Usual pointers also exist - no personalisation & invalid URL & different URL in link than is displayed.

This is so good, I'm providing it as text and a screen print, click the image below!
