Dear ANZ customer,

Our SSL server has detected a series of unsuccessful log on attempts on your ANZ online banking account. We have also taken note of an access to your account from a different IP address and location registered with your online banking account details.

We suspect you may have been a victim of the recent hoax email leading to a false bank website asking ANZ customers to confirm their account details.

Your account details may have been captured. You are advised to log on to your account on our secure servers, confirm your details and verify your current location for the safety of your online banking account.

Failure to match your account details with our records will immediately lead to an account suspension to avoid a security breach.

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

...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:Me]

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

It's a phishing scam. 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...

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.

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.

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.

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