If the potential victims enter the information requested, it will be sent to the scammers behind the fake email and phishing website.

With the potential victims information, the scammers will be able to gain access to their accounts, sell the information to the highest bidder and further scam the victims.in this case, the NatWest customers can end up being victims of identity theft and credit card fraud.
