Alert: Westpac Share your best savings tip & you could win $1000!

I noticed an email this morning and felt it was a very clever but insidious scam likely to trick Westpac users. Should you receive such an email you should delete it immediately.

The Enter Now link takes you to a domain with a cz country code (Czechoslovakia) which obviously means this email is a scam.

I highly recommend that people not register their email address with their financial institutions. That way all emails from scammers targeted at users of financial institutions are known to be a scamming attempt.

The link in the email takes you to a page which is set up to look like the Westpac home page, where you can enter your customer ID and password. Don’t be tricked. This is a scam.
