NO SPAM, PLEASE -- Allied Bank Limited UPDATE YOUR ABL ONLINE ACCESS
The following spam mail received today in my inbox purportedly from Allied Bank Limited, Pakistan (ABL); requiring the recipients to update ABL Online Access because ABL Online Security System has blocked the users' IP.
The mail was a suspicious one because I've never dealt with ABL; therefore, I started to investigate the whereabouts of this mail and intentions of senders (or best to call them spammers/scammers).

EXPLANATION:
Following are the findings of my research about this mail:
- The link given in this mail (http://www.ax3multimedia.com/img/pk.php) leads to a fake look-alike website of ABL Direct Internet Banking, screenshots of original and fake websites are shown below:
 |
| Allied Direct Internet Banking - Fake/Look-alike website (click to enlarge) |
 |
| Allied Direct Internet Banking - Original website (click to enlarge) |
The differences are quite significant, specifically the URL.
- The sender's email address (bhannon@stonehill.edu) used in this is also looks like a hacked one. The email ID belongs to Bob Hannon from Stone Hill College, which is a selective Catholic college located near Boston on a beautiful 375-
acre campus in Easton, Massachusetts.
CONCLUSION:
This is an effort from cyber-criminals to get the confidential/log-in information of recipients to use the same for their to steal the money using Allied Bank Online Services.
ADVICE:
Don't respond to such mails, at all.
