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

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

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