Hi guys,
Here’s a copy of the bank scam you might have heard about. If you click on the link in the email, it’ll take you to a bogus westpac site. If you put in your account number and security code, you have just given those things to a scammer.
If that’s not clear – DON’T EVER GIVE DETAILS OVER THE WEB!!!!
If you want to use internet banking, always type in the bank’s address (or use a favourite), and then goto the banking site from there. When you goto sign in, look in the lower left hand corner. There’s a padlock in browser bar for the real site, and nothing in the scammer’s. Click the padlaock to make sure it’s your banks..
Here’s link to Westpac’s media release on the topic.

For comparision with the link below, here’s westpac’s real sign on page. Look for the padlock.

The link on the email below looks ok, but here's where it goes

Note, no padlock on this page.
