Comments:

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

SouthTrust Bank never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.

The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www.southtrust.com/index.php?kra=050044540087708371426790586682397401 8569656455837363153640222619011877743498 9826180243884&ssl=lgtdbbhtrgoybcolctjxhd ccygptrttfnqtprpikx&eml=xxx&yjzb=1067268 47625368867749&ale=457482870291964548210 85763430834".

The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.

The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual SouthTrust Bank URL.
