Abbey National OnLine Banking Verification Process

Abbey Phishing EmailThis email seems to be from the same people that sent a few Abbey Phishing Emails a few weeks ago. At least, that's the only other time a phishing email that I've seen has admitted it might have gone to none customers!

"If you are not customer of Abbey National Bank OnLine Banking please disregard this e-mail!" is a great line - why would Abbey be sending this email to the entire world - not just it's customers. A real give away that someone is up to no good. I won't mention the destination of the link as it may actually be an innocent site as the home page seems OK. There's no way of knowing whether they are unknowingly hosting these pages. My own hosts had this problem a while back.

Here's the email.
