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 looks nothing like the actual Western Union URL.

and now it has been limited.
Verification of your specific account details will enable you to have
full access to your Western Union account.
