Automated Security Notice

NatWest Phishing EmailIt seems that I'm not popular with the phishers at the moment - it's been very quiet not just on the phishing front but also on all spam. So I've had nothing to post for a week. But I discovered an email account I'd forgotten about and hidden away in it was this email, that I've not previously seen or posted.

The email appears to copy chunks of graphics from the genuine site, but the middle section just doesn't do it for me - doesn't look real. Maybe it's this machine. But when you put the mouse over the link it shows a totally different URL. Quite interestingly, since the header and trailer are taken from the genuine site, they also link to the actual site.

But the email is fake and designed to rob you - don't use any links in emails!
