The bank suspended service at its site on Monday morning after some customers received spam e-mails urging them to upgrade their account information at a bogus Web address.

A bank spokeswoman says that no customers appear to have lost any money as a result of the attempted fraud and that the site shut-down was a temporary precaution.

NatWest was last hit by a similar 'phishing' expedition in October, during a rash of e-mail frauds targeting UK banks.
