-
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at PointBank by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- PointBank never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://218.62.20.50/www.pointbank.com/ login.htm?t-bank=111906006".
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual PointBank URL.
