In addition to that is everytime I visit the genuine or the real Unionbank of Philippines website: http://www.unionbankph.com, a user is reminded and warned regarding phishing attacks. I personally testify this kind of cyber crime.
Do you see at the middle part? That's the believed-to-be "Account Message Alert" from Unionbank of the Philippines. And then I opened the email and banggg... what I read are these few lines of message:
Let me write this message again to make it clear for you to read:
Curious of the email message being read, I click the link: "Click here to confirm your registration!". Then I was redirected to a different website. Guess what? Do you know the website url where I was redirected?
It's http://philou38540.free.fr/forum/phep.htm.
I repeat, it's http://philou38540.free.fr/forum/phep.htm.
And I'm surprised when I saw the design and layout of the website, it's most likely similar with the real or genuine Unionbank of the Philippines website. I took a snapshot of the http://philou38540.free.fr/forum/phep.htm website: Take a look below:

This url is not a real or genuine Unionbank of the Philippines website. It's a fake website. It seems that at a first glance, you can't believe that it's not a fake website because it looks very similar to the real Unionbank of the Philippines website. Take note! Do not believe this kind of website. It's a forged, cloned, copied, fake website. This fake website will ask you to enter your User ID, PIN no., Transaction Password which you should not do. If you accidentally enter your User ID, PIN no., and Transaction Password, this might be your greatest financial nightmare if you have huge amount of money in your Unionbank account.
This fake website or other kinds phishing websites are intentionally created by cyber criminals who want to steal your money through creating fake emails and fake websites. They are scammers.
So beware of this kind of websites.
