NatWest Important Security Notice

A quick count up and over 25% of the phishing emails posted to this blog are aimed at the NatWest, and I don't publish them all - some that are too similar when I'm too busy get deleted rather than posted. Not very helpful, but time isn't always on my side...

So it's not surprising that here's another Natwest phishing email, received by me twice in different email boxes. These are the people that list a dozen or so names in the to: field to send the email to all of those at once. Not very convincing...

The link is harder to cut & paste as it's behind a graphic, but retyping it, it goes something like http://www1.nwolb.com.jgnvvhx742.com/default.aspx etc. Once more, jgnvvhx742.com does appear in a couple of phishing results on Google.

Here's the content.
