Got this email today:

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! :shock:
2 X ZRX1200R 4 X ER6N, GT550, 1988 ZX-10, 4 X GPZ250R, 4 X GPZ900R and GPZ750R :) Yeah I like Kawasakis.

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....
Cheers,
Anne
