[rally]

It seems fairly rare not to get one every few days.

Today's scam on the business account was :

Title - "Westpac Alert !"

"The primary email for your Westpac account was changed on 24/09/2013.

If you did not authorize this change, please confirm your identity by visiting Westpac now.

(Link removed - Al)
Thank you for using Westpac."



So all the usual stuff makes it obvious

Didnt pass the smell test - the exclamation mark
Not addressed to me personally
"Authorize" not "Authorise" for an Aussie business
URL address that is not the bank's URL or domain

The email client didnt recognise it as spam (but will from now on !)

I did look twice at this one - I got it on the phone first so just read the first few lines, but once in front of a PC it was obvious.
Of course I didnt click the link, it astounds me that people do, to then go on through whatever process the scammer has in store for you to get your details, download files etc - is totally beyond me
