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

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

The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www.fnb.co.za/kLXgkxZG0TYm61jJR21WkV FUwGVUsZYCfJ0PnjGEFwl77IhGStSvWIZ462izi7q1ygf".

The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual First National Bank URL.

"This email was sent by the First National Bank server to verify your e-mail address."
