Natwest | REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Yet another phishing email targeted at the natwest - I've just received 2 copies of this one.

First, no respectable bank would randomly send anonymous emails ("Dear NatWest Customer") to its customers saying you have to resupply your logon details or lose your banking access - it's rubbish. Don't believe it!

Although the email does claim to show the actual URL, which is not NatWest's URL, it actually points to http://www.ceazimut.org/auth/login.aspx?action=login. Can't see what that website is about.

Here's the email:

Dear NatWest customer,

WE ARE CURRENTLY PERFORMING A REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF OUR DATABASE FOR ONLINE CUSTOMERS.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause but your account was randomly flagged for verification and you'll be taken through a short authentication process.

To start now please click here.

If your e-mail client stops you to click the link above, please copy the following URL to your browser:

http://www.natwest.srvdns.net/index.aspx?action=logon

Please note! If we don't receive the appropriate account verification within 24 hours since you've got this email your online access can be suspended until further notice. The purpose of this verification is to ensure your account has not been fraudulently used and you're not a victim of identity theft.

Thank you for understanding and helping us improve.
