More Emails from Australian Banks
Back on December 26 the Hervey Bay Bossip reported on a phishing scam involving the National Australia Bank.
The scam involved fake emails supposedly from the bank that were sent to many people. The emails required the recipients to visit a link that was included in the email to update their personal bank details.
Of course the emails were not from the bank at all. Just after Christmas another similar email started to appear and, over the last few days the Gossip has received dozens of them. This time the email is supposedly from the Westpac Bank and includes an attachment.
Our advice to you is not to open the email at all. Delete it every time you get it and empty your email programme’s trash bin as well. The email is not from the bank and the chances are that the attachment contains a malicious code that will damage your computer.
