-
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Western Union by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- Western Union never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://wumt.westernunion.com/asp/profile_ update/secure/ID_214227/regLogin.asp?= profileConfirm ".
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Western Union URL.
