Official Notification For Customer of Abbey OnLine Banking

Even on a UK Bank Holiday there's no let up in the phishing emails. This one is very similarto an Abbey Phishing Email oflast November - the first one in which I saw the 'If you are not a customer' line.

There's a few changes - Support Department instead of Technical Department, following has become visiting etc, but essentially it's the same email. With this one the link actually points to http://ww5.an-business.com.direct52.in/servlet/?pid=[removed] - although I can't find direct52.in in any search results. It's obviously a fake - don't try the link.

Dear Abbey Internet Banking user!

Our Support Department is running a scheduled OnLine Banking software upgrade

By visiting the link below you will open the procedure of the customer details confirmation:
