14 DAY TRIAL // Customers of ANZ are advised to be on the lookout for fake notifications claiming that someone has tried to log in to their accounts from an unrecognized device.
The emails are entitled something like “Account Incident ID:Z60496200 on November 06, 2013” and they read the following:
“This is an automated message to notify you that we detected a login attempt with a valid password to your account from an unrecognized device yesterday @
Location: UNITED STATES, COLORADO, COLORADO SPRINGS,IP=133.217.53.84 Latitude, Longitude: 28.57046, -51.5962 , Connection through: MCI Local Time: 2013 04:57 PM (UTC -06:00) IDD Code: 1 Weather Station: COLORADO SPRINGS (USCO0078) Usage Type: ISP.
Was this you? If so, you can disregard the rest of this email. If this wasn't you kindly follow the account review link.”
Hoax Slayer informs that the links contained in the email don’t point to an ANZ website. Instead, they lead unsuspecting users to a phishing page where they’re asked to enter credit card information.
Once the information is handed over, victims are redirected to the genuine ANZ website, most likely to avoid raising suspicion.
If you’re a victim of this phishing scam, contact ANZ and keep a close eye on your bank account.
