St George Bank Latest Phishing Scam Victim
Scam emails asking to verify your account details are targeting St George Bank today. The idea behind this scam is to collect login details such as customers bank account number and password. This practice is commonly known as phishing. Phishing is a common scam and all the major Australian banks have been targeted in the past.
So I decided to some investagative work to find out who is behind this phishing scam
Two domains have been registered which are very similar to the official St George Bank web site and can easily mislead St George Bank clients in to believing they are being directed to the St George web site.
