This week I received an email claiming to be from Standard Bank. There was much less effort put into this one compared to the detailed Absa scam-mail.
The email simply stated:
Dear Customer,
We have noticed that someone other than you logged into your account on the *th of August 2010 at 11:11 PM, due to this, we have deactivated your account for safety reasons. We suspect this was done by the new fraud scheme, they use the traditional method of identity theft (phishing), hacking into customers online banking.
You can also visit your nearest branch or restore your account here
Please Click Below and follow the steps.
Quite laughable really, that they actually mention phishing and hacking. I suppose this is a lame attempt to gain some trust from the reader.
Be Aware and Don't be Fooled!
