NatWest Bank customer service: automatic notification

This one seems very similar to the Natwest phishing email reported on Thursday. Only the subject has changed and the target URL. From a quick read through, the content of the email is exactly the same, and if my memory is correct, it's been sent to the same email address.

Again it's been sent one email at a time and the to field contains the first part of the email address (the part prior to the @). Like Thursday's email, the computer_id is also recorded in the URL, so they are tracking exactly who is clicking on the emails. I expect they could also tie in the landing screen to a simple database using this to put your email address on the form, to convince you further that it's a safe form.

BUT IT'S NOT! The destination URL is temx3.hk and Google finds that site in many phishing etc results. So don't touch the link.

Here's the details, and remember to use a browser such as Firefox for it's anti-phisihing protection for your added security!

To: info (first part of email address)
