Natwest | Your account access has been restricted

The natwest are becoming regularly featured as victims in these pages, and this particular variant was last reported in November. Amusingly, the phisher involved as left the same copyright date on!

This time the target URL is http://wvps212-241-211-79.vps.webfusion.co.uk/nwolb.com/default.aspxrefererident=[removed]8&cookieid=[removed]&noscr=true/secure.php, who are probably not yet aware of what they are being used for. As with the recent Natwest emails, it uses the double referrer id / cookie id in the tracking.

It's also sent to 1 email at a time and is quite prolofic - I've already received it through 4 different email addresses. It's already been sent to the NatWest for them to deal with.

Here's the content:
