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

Commonwealth Bank of Australia never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.

The REAL URL of the spoof website is hidden by a hyperlinked image in the body of the email. This is a technique used to get past spam filters that can only read normal text.

The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual Commonwealth Bank of Australia URL. Do not be fooled!
