Yup, you guessed it. I got another one in my inbox today.
I wonder if the scammers have been reading my blog, because they have changed their tactic slightly...
The latest mailer is identical to the previous one in appearance, except for one thing - the embedded hyperlink APPEARS to be legit - it appears as http://www.absa.co.za/absacoza/internet-banking/ within the mail.
So you may be thinking - well now that link goes to http://www.absa.co.za/ so it must be safe... Wrong wrong wrong!
You can use any line of text as a link - it's the code behind the text that directs you onto the internet.
So while the hyperlink appears to say http://www.absa.co.za/absacoza/internet-banking/, clicking it actually takes you to http://edunya.com/absa-ibanking/internet-banking-update/logonform.do/ibank-login.php - clearly dodgy.
As I said before, if you actually click the link, carefully watch where you are taken to in the address bar of your internet browser... until the scammers read this post at least... :)
