I've received Commonwealth bank, Westpac bank and NAB scam emails for ages.
Don't have accounts with any of those banks so I always delete them immediately

I get four or five NAB ones every day (never been with them) And several Comm bank ones for internet banking (don't have it) plus ANZ credit card alerts (never banked with them, never had a credit card)

Just checked my spam folder
Have received a Credit Suisse email, not in English so have no idea what the contents are and one from a bloke called Ben Broadbent purporting to be with the Bank of England

Thanks for the warning.. no clicking on links in emails for me.

the scam that really drives me crazy is that fake NBN one telling us that we'll be cut off..  I don't know how many times a day they call us on the landline..darn annoying

Been getting that one heaps since the end of last week. My housemate was 'how do you know it's not real

In the words of Charlie Brown 

Good grief

Thanks for the heads up warning Kopes. 

A friend of mine who  is a very clever businesswoman actually got caught and gave out personal details.  All of her accounts were then hacked , phone addresses removed,  and thus followed stressful  weeks of  sorting it all out.   She was so embarrassed at   being so silly and could only put it down to brain overload at the time.

So it can happen to any of us.

You mean the First International Bank of Israel Folau.
