Bank emails, anyone else getting them?

Postby Blacky » Thu Jun 11, 2009 7:49 pm

Anyone else all of a sudden getting a heap of crazy emails from comm bank, ATO, paypal and the like??
Apparently they are even going to the lengths of setting up real call centers and calling around as well in an attempt to get your personal information.
Its pretty sad when people go to these lengths to steal money. I believe the AFP is trying to track these guys down. I bet they are all from the same crime ring. Anyone got an easy fix to stopping the emails??

So you should, I've literally getting 2 a day! I even got some claiming to be from the ATO!
Crazy, its only just started in the last month or so to! I'm guessing they are coming from the same place.

I also had a bot from china join the forum! It managed to get past all the anti bot security! Have to keep a better eye on it now.
