A phising scam that has been floating around for quite a while now.
The scam consists of an email urging you to click through a link to confirm your banking details due to a systems upgrade or some other change at your bank. If you click through, the site looks remarkably like your normal internet banking interface.
Visually, these approaches often look quite genuine, with the scamsters taking pains to make the approach look as realistic as possible. However, the site is definitely not your bank, but folks trying to gain crtitical password information so that they can empty your bank account.
In the example shown below, the entire message is actually an embedded graphic set up as a hotspot link to the phising site. A victim would click through and log on as per how they would for a normal internet banking session.
