Thanks Steve. Don't know how they got that ??? It *is* my old school but I've had no contact with the "old boy's network"

Three of my older sons also went there so I'm guessing they've supplied it............F*****g good job they're still over in pommie land! [smiley=rifle.gif]

The emails arrive under the the corporate logos of the west-pac or ANZ and they have been trying to obtain details from commonwealth bank customers with a email 'Netbank notification" demanding that customers confirm their account details. the false message reads. recently there have been a large number of identity theft attempts targeting commonwealth bank customers. in order to safeguard your account we require that you comfirm your banking details. this process is mandatory. this began circulating yesterday.Police beleive that dozens of hunter residents have lost thousands of dollars to the on line scam.

Those phishing emails have been around for ages...very easy to pick them...click on one the buttons on the page..nothing happens..they have copied the banks webpage but only one link works...the one where they want your details...don't ever fill it in. I usually grab the email address it came from..then register with porn sites and any other site I can think of using that email address...will send a few spam emails their way by doing that.
