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


  • Wells Fargo never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www.wellsfargo.com/signon?LOB=CONS& screenid=Update_Acct".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Wells Fargo URL.
