Alert: Free Movie Voucher Reward Available Now...! : Ref No : 1702324 - Standard Bank

I received this email tonight and since so many people worldwide were tricked by the Apple iTunes free gift certificate, I thought I'd let others know I received the email with the subject Free Movie Voucher Reward Available Now...! : Ref No : 1702324 and don't bank with Standard Bank. It is thus a pretty obvious phishing attempt.

There are also a couple of clues in the body of the email indicating it isn't a bona fide email including poor capitalisation, poor punctuation and poor grammar, which would not be seen in a communication from a professional organisation such as a bank.

It is suggested you delete this email if you receive one.
