NatWest Digital Banking Customer Email: Instructions For Customer

Natwest Phishing Email January 2008Here's an email that's done the rounds in slightly different formats for a while now.

This time the target URL is http://www1.nwolb.co.uk.sid17.com - nothing like the bank's address! The website is on the Firefox list of phishing sites (see top right) so you can protect yourself there.

Not much to say about this email that I haven't already said on previous versions of the email (see here). The greeting isn't customised, which is a big warning, but unusually like the Lloyds TSB Email received earlier today, it is sent to just 1 email address at a time.

Here's the content:

Dear Natwest Direct and Digital Banking customer!
