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


  • Fifth Third Bank 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 Fifth Third Bank URL. Do not be fooled!


  • The entire email consists of nothing but an image that contains all of the body text and links to a spoof website. This is a technique used to get past spam filters that can read normal text but not images.
