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 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 looks nothing like the actual Wells Fargo URL.

"We recently had an upgrade with our services and you are requested to update your contact information to help us continue serving you better , note that we are doing this to improve our online banking system ."
