Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Western Union by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- Western Union never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://westernunion.com/2341551233432:ssl2: upadate&confirm&westernunion:ID.asp".
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual Western Union URL. Do not be fooled!
