Phishing gets better, so it seems.

NatWest recently revamped their online banking website design and today there seems to have been a lot of phasing emails around encouraging customers to log on and check their own NatWest new customer forms.

How do you decide which is the real email to use, especially when they all seem to be addressed direct to you.

Take a look at these two email inserts (via Screen Snaps) I received … which one is correct?

NatWestBad-1    NatWestGood-1

The answer is neither!!!

You should never click on a link in any email irrespective of who you think it came from if it involves banking or any other sensitive content – in fact I never click on any email link unless I have requested the email and know where it comes from.

The only safe way is to go direct to the web site of the bank etc. and log on using your own log-in and password details. That way, you’re not going to get diverted into the hands of the phisherman!

By the way the real NatWest email in on the right.
