Funny coz I have never been a customer of BOQ. Must be bogus too, considering the links have the word 'costumers' rather than 'customers' in them. I would imagine too that the genuine web address might be http://www.boq.com.au , not the similar ones above. SCAM!

I laugh at how many people STILL follow those instructions. Despite how many times they are told to ignore them

I can't understand why people respond to these emails. A bank or credit union will never ever ever contact a customer by email requesting security details etc!
There must be a lot of gullible people out there....
