I recieved my first phising e-mail today. The funny thing is that there are some big errors in the links.

To prove it was fake I checked the headers.

The e-mail is made to look like an offical letter.

The abbey website is abbey.com. Before there name change there primary site was abbeynational.co.uk.

The phising like contains a link to (changed but similar) thesubdomain.abbeynational.co.uk

I clicked on the link to see if it worked. It got a 404. It appears the people phising forgot to change the link
