Westpac scam warning

Peter from Kamo

Just received a scammer's email pretending to come from Westpac.
"Final Notification". The message was apparently sent from Sudan, or channeled via Sudan. There is a link in the middle of the message that looks like it leads to Westpac, but it leads to some site in China.

Just received a scammer's email pretending to come from Westpac.
"Final Notification". The message was apparently sent from Sudan, or channeled via Sudan. There is a link in the middle of the message that looks like it leads to Westpac, but it leads to some site in China.

They made a few grammatical errors, that are easy to miss unless you're looking out for them - it's actually 'well done' otherwise, it even has security warnings in the bottom of the email would you believe.

Do NOT reply to that, and don't click on the link in the message if you get one.

(Ironically, I don't even bank with Westpac, so it was a bit of a no-brainer for me to be on the alert).
