i assume they sent you a link to log on to?

dig out the properties of that link and you will probably find the url is nothing like anz.co.nz

edit: and logging on from a different IP is perfectly acceptable anyway, home/work/hotel/mobile/etc

Cal 0800103123 and speak to someone. My mumy a manager for ANZ bank So normally when i have troubles I call her

[Virago]

...Log on to Internet Banking...

Does it have a link to click on? Does the link address look dodgy?

If in doubt, ring ANZ.

Yes it does, that bit it you quoted is the click on.

[nodrog]

pm me your account number and password details, and i can check it out for you through my secure server here at work.

[Badjelly]

It's a phishing scam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing). The banks never send you emails that ask you to click on a link to log on. Don't bother ringing ANZ (they already know these things are circulating) just ignore it.

[Virago]

Yup, sounds like a phishing email.

Phone ANZ to check.

I've had similar emails in the past. Funny thing is, I don't bank with ANZ...:shifty:

It is guaranteed to be a scam.

The quoted line is the clincher.

Hi Maha

My brother is the external fraud investigator for ANZ National Bank, and they are obviously very keen to get recent examples of these emails. Are you able to forward me the email you got sent, or at least the link address that you were sent to?

cheers

I have never logged on anywhere but from home....im on the phone to them about now.

[James Deuce]

This is a known scam to harvest your Internet Banking website login password. You get directed to a site that looks exactly like the real site and then will come up with an error when you "log" in.

Don't worry about it, click on nothing, and don't bother the bank with it. Simply delete it.

Your bank will never, ever email you about Internet banking due to the prevalence of these scams. Westpac had huge issues with this scam last year.

[Badjelly]

I've had similar emails in the past. Funny thing is, I don't bank with ANZ...:shifty:

I get them for Ebay, Paypal, Westpac, banks in the UK, you name it. The people/computers that send these things do not tailor them to the recipient; they are just indiscriminately f(ph)ishing.

If nodrog cant help you i can check from here as well :devil2:

You are indeed right, they just told me that very thing.

[Gremlin]

pm me your account number and password details, and i can check it out for you through my secure server here at work.
:rofl: bad nodrog :spanking:

you can access your bank account from anywhere you like (advisable not to, on internet cafe computers etc, or ones you don't consider trustworthy) as that is the whole aim of online banking.

Send it to the person that requested it for further investigation, otherwise, delete.

[Maha]

You dont need a password loverboy.....:love:

[CB ARGH]

Reply to the email with "F**k ANZ"...

If they suspend your account, then you know it's a legit email address. :second:

BTW: On a serious side, it's a scam mate.

[vifferman]

ANZ don't send you email like this about your bank account - they instead have secure mail you can view after you have logged onto your account.

[slofox]

I get millions of these - even from banks where I DON'T have an account - now how stupid is that...???? "Your XYZ bank account....." my what? I don't HAVE an XYZ account....duhhhhh. Just delete the buggers.......

[Swoop]

Does the account have free Viagra and Cialis?
I think there could be a large deposit from winning a lottery you never entered...

[slofox]

I think there could be a large deposit from winning a lottery you never entered...

I won two of those lotteries just today!!!!!!! I'm rich, rich, RICH I TELL YOU RIIIICCCCHHHHHH!!!!MMwwwaahhahahahaaaaa...errrrr oh shit, maybe its another scam - like last week's and the one before and......

[Mom]

A timely reminder for all of us not to blindly click links in e-mails that look as good as the real thing! Yes these things have been around for ages, and yes they can be and are simple to identify as Phishing but...

No harm in spreading the word...

I have a long lost relative in Nigeria now, that has died and I am the only one that can claim the $20billion estate...woo hoo!

[pzkpfw]

...and people buy Olympics tickets off the internet!

On the other hand, I've been replying to spam - just in case - and now have a 3 metre penis.

[alanzs]

I just got an email from a long lost cousin that I never knew about in Nigeria asking me for some banking information as well.... SCAM.

[alanzs]

I get those all the time. I was starting to think someone at the doctors office gave them my email address. PHEW! :doctor:

That's interesting because I had the same message when I tried to log in about 20 minutes ago, confused I just logged off without giving any details

[Pedrostt500]

I have found the best way to avoid internet banking scams is not to use the internet banking facility, a friends wife who works in the banking security told me that the banks in NZ are losing many millions of dollars a year to internet fraud, and there is little they can do, because as they plug one leak three more pop up, and to abandon internet banking would mean the end of the internet, as we know it.

ALL my banking is online and has been for years - never had a problem.....(fingers crossed, touch wood, whistle a happy tune etc etc etc....)

[barty5]

I had one bout 3 weeks ago contacted us through yellow pages online even followed it up with a phone call to buy whole lot a batterys (vehicle ones) was going to come down pick them up in the afternoon. Gave us a credit card and all to charge it to. Then he rang back later in the day to check they had turned up and was going to pick them up. It was bout 2 hours later i was asked to charge fr8 to c/card as well and could i ring said fr8 Co and send to S/africa and thats as far as that went. turn out card was a canceled City bank card out of Texas been canceled for 3 weeks funny thing was the first charge went through fine on a card that was canceled ????(we had it reversed) The guy rang me 4 more times to find out what was going on(commitment to fraud) i made sure the ph calls draged out

:scratch: What, no porn?

[St_Gabriel]

The links in the phising emails can be very crafty, just hover your cursor over the link and read REALLY carefully, its often something like [url]www.anz.co.nz.vg.sr.ro/onlinebanking. They also collect everything from the original page (all the pictures to ensure the page looks real).
Never click a link in an email. I always log into internet banking through my bookmark incase of a typo when i type the url in.
Lots of site squatters who "bank" (if you will pardon the pun) on ppl stuffing the url. Try typing a common spelling mistake in a well known url eg: {url removed due to possible hazrdous content}

I got that one too...almost word for word.and I dont bank with the ANZ.
Turned out to be a scam.
dont click on it.

[Forest]

The guy rang me 4 more times to find out what was going on(commitment to fraud) i made sure the ph calls draged out

He is probably using skype or some other low-cost international calling service.

Which means it will cost him bugger all in extra charges if you drag out the calls.

proberly he got really pissed off when i told him his 1st payment had gone through and the battiers were paid for but it appears your c/card is stolen so i wont be able to send them thanks for the payment though. Would have pissed him off to no end made it look like we scamed him :lol::lol: And yes money was reversed back to card after i contacted ANZ.

Damn!
I feel really neglected. I do bank with ANZ (and ASB) and I didn't get a fake spammy thingo. :crybaby:

[ManDownUnder]

Don't worry about it, click on nothing, and don't bother the bank with it. Simply delete it.

I go in there and type in all manner of BS entries. I figure if they waste my time wondering if it's true - I can do the same.

If everyone did it they'd slow right down I reckon....
