Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at WellsFargo BANK by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • WellsFargo BANK never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www.wellsfargo.com/signon?LOB=CONS&scree nid=Update_Acct".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual WellsFargo BANK URL. Do not be fooled!
