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


  • Bank of the West never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://cib-id-744700.bankofthewest.com/BOW/ WebDirect/start.ac".


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