Attention: Royal Bank of Scotland Digital Banking Service User Id: 3687

We've not had any Royal Bank of Scotland phishing emails recently, the last one was last October. This one takes the form of a recent NatWest phishing Email, and before that the Abbey, in which it apologises if you are not a customer - an admission that it's sent to a spam list.

Like the NatWest email, they both have a 'reference' in the subject and I received both emails through the same email acount. In this case, the target URL is http://ww5.rbs.co.uk.dll64.com/confirm.aspx/?pid=[removed]. The only result of note was that McAffee had it noted as a site that was promoted through spam!

Here's the email content:
