Abbey | REF# 3139 Important Information Regarding Your Account

This one seems to be identical to the Natiowide phishing email from November, so could be the same senders.

Cleverly, it is sent to just on email address at a time and therefore also includes the email address in the content. It is just a purely text email, no fancy graphics. The destination URL this time around is http://211.202.2.46/~sehwa/db/q1.php?klsud=[email removed], which is a clever way of hiding from us that it's target is not the real Abbey website.

I've not yet discovered the email address to report these emails to Abbey, so can't forward it on. If anyone reading does know the correct address, or for that matter the correct email to report phishing for any bank, please let me know in a comment. I'll continue to add them to the list on the right.

Here's the email content.

Dear [email removed]

your account is not compromised, please login to your Abbey Online Banking and verify your identity to
prevent deactivation.
