-
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Armed Forces Bank by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- Armed Forces Bank never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://www.afbank.com".
-
The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual Armed Forces Bank URL. Do not be fooled!

Dear Armed Forces Customer,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in your Armed Forces Bank account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account was hijacked by a third party without your authorization.
If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have initiated by you.
However if you are the rightful holder of the account, click on the link below and submit, as we try to verify your account:
https://www.afbank.com
If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporally suspend your account.
We ask that you allow at least 48hrs for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend not making any changes to your account in that time.
If you received this notice and you are not the authorized account holder, please be aware that is in violation of Lassale Bank policy to represent oneself as another Armed Forces Bank account owner. Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law. Armed Forces Bank is committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related to attempts to misappropriate personal information with the Internet to commit fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request of law enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
