In the last week i have received this rubbish from (supposedly)
Bendigo Bank x 2 and Westpac x 1. Don't bank with either. Phoned all the details to each bank. The worst part of all this is that someone will get caught with this scam.
Cheers

Steve,
Make sure you don't take their advice whatever the bank. I just bounce them and they go back to whence they came. I have been getting those from Westpac, NAB, ANZ, CBA,
Bendigo and Citibank. Must think I have some money or something. Have intelligence sometimes, perhaps that leads to money.

Yep - i regularly get that type of spam supposedly from Westpac, Commonwealth & more recently
Bendigo banks. C/w & W/pac have warnings on their
home page - i asked
Bendigo to do the same - they were aware they are now getting "Phished", but their warning was not as prominent as the others. Never think the bank will email you - it's all spam.
