Comments:

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

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

The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www.southtrust.com/index.php?lyq=370159787842769438802516130567305320 398083259203193444067124964496436344670 69191035586268&ssl=purwhjdnvtwoutkoiovy cyeyicninlafhtcnegdza&eml=xxx&znut=40705 1016480826523543&ajq=646205831771486688326 30906231668".

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 looks nothing like the actual SouthTrust Bank URL.
