Natwest Direct and Digital Banking: Please Submit Your Banking Service Password

Example Nat West Phishing EmailHere's the first of 2 Natwest Phishing emails that is doing the rounds. It's the same layout and very similar content to an earlier Nat West email. The screen prints are taken from the earlier email rather than the current one. The content of the current email is displayed below for reference.

The link actually points to a domain asp07.net, which if you try to enter any part of the domain using Firefox, the Phising warnings do appear. If you are currently using a browser such as Internet Explorer without the phishing protection, it is well worth looking at Firefox (provided by Google) and getting the protection included. It's free, just use the link on the right.
