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


  • Capital One Bank never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://commercial.capitalonebank. com/file051.asp/confirmmode/ dlstack/formpage.aspx?id= 54415653504247281179579242 52113211396645".


  • 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 Capital One Bank URL. Do not be fooled!

Dear Capital One Bank customer,

Please notice that due to technical issues, the new banking software release is currently on hold. However, a number of innovations have been added. The new client-server protocol is one of them. To make sure your online account correctly corresponds with the new protocol, you need to complete TowerNET Form to update your data. If you are a former customer of the North Fork bank, using Treasury Optimizer service for online banking, please use the same link and choose Treasury Optimizer form from a menu on the web-site.

Please use the link below in order to access the Form:
