WARNINGS

1. Employs script to open the genuine woolwich.co.uk home page as a backdrop to the bogus page which is opened in a pop up style window in order to lead the reader into thinking that it has been generated by the genuine page.
2. Any data submitted into the forged Account Verification page is captured by a local (on the same web server) PHP script.

 

" Dear Woolwich customer! Please read this important message about security. We are working very hard to protect our customers against fraud. "...

 

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.
