Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Abbey by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.

Abbey never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.

The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "www.abbey.com/us".

The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Abbey URL.

Dear Abbey Online customer,

During our regularly scheduled account maintenance and verification procedures, we have detected a slight error in your billing information.

This might be due to either of the following reasons:

1. A recent change in your personal information ( i.e.change of address).
2. Submiting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
3. An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due to an internal error within our processors.

Please update and verify your information by clicking the link below:

www.abbey.com/us

If your account information is not updated within 48 hours then your ability to access your account will become restricted.

Thank you

The Abbey Billing Deptartment .
