NatWest Electronic Banking Informs You Code: 2341

For whatever reason, NatWest Bank continues to be a popular target for the phishing emails. This one has a different subject title to those that have gone before it, but includes the 'if you are not a customer', like many recent phishing emails. No idea why the phishers think it's a good idea to warn the recipients the email is going to a spam list!

This time the destination url is http://www8.natwest.co.uk.mode65.com/details.aspx/?appid=[removed], which without the help of the underline, takes a second to spot that the actual URL is mode65.com, which doesn't yet appear in any search results.

It is sent to a named email box, but it's obviously fake. Here's the content:
