! Barclays IBank's account - Spoof Email Phishing Scam
27th February 2004

 

This spoof email links to forged web content which appears to open as a 'pop up' from a genuine US government web page to add a sense of authenticity ..... beware!

read also our brief guide to Phishing

This spoof email presents us with a message asking that you 'confirm your online banking membership details' by using the link provided. See image below.

The whole message is an image which when clicked on will open a new browser window which is scripted to further open the genuine www.regulations.gov web site and a new 'pop up' type window with a bogus form (forged to look like a genuine www.regulations.gov page). See image below.

The Regulations.gov website is the central online rulemaking portal of the United States government and is used here to make the whole thing look like the pop up window is part of it. The address, tool and status bars of the 'pop up' have been coded out of the pop up window to conceal its real origin and malicious nature.

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
