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


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


  • 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 Regions Bank URL. Do not be fooled!

Dear Regions Member

To provide our customers the most effective and secure online access to their accounts, we are continually upgrading our online services. As we add new features and enhancements to our service, there are certain browser versions, which will not support these system upgrades. As many customers already know, Microsoft Internet Explorer has significant 'holes' or 'vulnerabilities' that virus creators can easily take advantage of.

In order to further protect your account, we have introduced some new important security standards and browser requirements. Visa security systems requires that you test your browser now to see if it meets the requirements for Visa's Internet Banking.

Please click here to test your browser.

Sincerely

Regions Account Services.
