Australian Bankers' Association warns of hoax e-mail and survey
The Australian Bankers’ Association (ABA) is warning of a hoax e-mail and survey that claims to offer money in return for completing a survey for the ABA.
This e-mail is a hoax. The ABA is not conducting a survey and did not send the e-mail.
The e-mail claims to be sent on behalf of the ABA, requests the completion of survey in return for $100 and requires the reader to click to a bogus website.
Anyone who receives this e-mail should delete it immediately. Generally these websites attempt to lure customers into divulging personal information or downloading malicious software which can record and transmit the customer’s key strokes.
