Comments:

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

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

The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www3.netbank.commbank.com.au/sc/ netbank/bankmain/login.htm".

The REAL URL of the spoof website is hidden by a hyperlinked image in the body of the email. This is a technique used to get past spam filters that can only read normal text.

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

The entire email consists of nothing but an image that contains all of the body text and links to a spoof website. This is a technique used to get past spam filters that can read normal text but not images.

Email:

"Commonwealth Bank technical services department is carrying out a scheduled software upgrade to improve the quality of services for the bank's customers."
