Online Banking Fraud
While we are on the subject of the internet, I just received a very clever email from the Commonwealth Bank asking me to log in and upgrade my NetBank account details.
Apart from the fact that I am not a CBA customer, it could of fooled me quite easily.
I will just remind everyone that this is definitely a fraud attempt. Here is a peice from their page on Online Banking Fraud:
These emails are sent to bank customers with the purpose of capturing confidential banking information such as password and login details, card and bank account details. Once this information is captured, it is used to access a customer’s internet banking facility and their banking accounts.
Whilst these emails look genuine, they are fraudulent and should be deleted immediately. The Commonwealth Bank does not send emails requesting you to confirm, update or disclose your confidential banking information.
Don’t click at all. Just delete. That is the best advice if something looks dodgy.
