Hervey Bay Residents Targeted in Phishing Scam
Hervey Bay residents have been among those across Australia who have been receiving emails allegedly from the National Australia Bank. The emails were timed to appear over the holiday period when it may have been difficult for people to check the bona fides of the email.
There are several variations of the email but every one of them asks the recipient to follow a link in the email to a website where they are asked to enter their personal banking details.
Anyone who does receive one of these emails should immediately delete the email and not follow the link at all. Don’t even be a little curious to see where the link takes you, just delete it without even opening it.
