Following are examples of genuine malicious emails received.  

We'll update this as we receive screenshots of new 'dodgy' emails.

Be wary - scammers are always changing their methods and may use a totally different style at any time.

11th October 2016 - Fake bank email  [Phishing Scam]

This is a typical 'phishing' scam that tries to get you to enter your banking username and password.  Clicking the link will most likely take you to a fake ANZ site, and get you to log in - your log in details will then be captured and your bank account subject to their control!

Note - the sender address is NOT an ANZ address and if you were to hover on the 'ANZ Internet Banking' link it is very likely it will go to a random address, NOT the ANZ banking address.

9th October 2016 - Anyone for a dangerous job application?

Notice the impersonal greeting and attached ZIP folder.

Another common feature - though also often not present  - is that the senders name does not match the email - indicating that some poor Julie Scoble's genuine email account is probably being 'spoofed' for sending this malicious email.  

If you got this email - and knew Julie Scoble, would you be fooled?
