Apart from showing the bank's logo at the top of the email, this one made no real attempt to convince the recipients. The link goes to a webfusion address (wvps212-241-220-237.vps.webfusion.co.uk/home.ybonline.co.uk/secure_login/secure.php), not really anything like the bank's own address.
'Dear Valued Customer' as well - not what a bank would really put. And if there were such serious goings on with an account, would a bank really depend on emails or give you a phone call?
Here's the email contents, not at all convincing.
Unauthorized Transactions on your Internet Banking
Dear Valued Customer,
Our utmost concern is the security of our online banking users. In this effect,
we do proper verification on all transactions done on our secured online banking servers.
Several attempts to log on to your account were detected on our secured servers and as a matter of our improved online banking security measures, We have decided to temporarily suspend your online banking access.
You will not be able to access your online account unless you re-activate your online access but in order to do so, you will have to confirm your details by Logging on to your account to complete the verification process set out for you before we can retrieve your online access.
Please, Log on through our secure reference: Click Here
We are indeed sorry for the inconveniencies we have caused you, but also remember that as a Ybonline Bank customer, your security remains our greatest priority.
Sincerely,
David Thorburn
Security Department
Ybonline Internet Banking
