FNB online fraud warning
I’m not an FNB customer, yet this mail still arrived in my inbox.
This is yet another example of a really poor phishing attempt, but one that is likely to catch out at least a few unsuspecting victims.
First off, never ever click on any link in an email provided without first checking where it goes to. In this case, the link for the online banking URL points to http://67.19.209.82/%7Eblack/www.fnb.co.za, which is in no way the official FNB banking URL. The page is already blocked by Firefox, but users with other browsers may still run into a phishing site.
Secondly, no bank or financial institution will ever request you to update your details in this way. Be wary of the Internet. Even though it’s a great place for gaining access to services that would ordinarily require us to spend a lot of time completing, it’s just as easy to be duped into providing too much personal information to the wrong people if you’re not careful.
LOL, I left some bogus info just for the hell of it.
I hope no one leaves any real information there…takes only a couple of victims to make the effort worthwhile.
I am a F N B Botswana client who came to S.A. to watch the soccer.When i came through the border i drew rands to continue my trip to Durban. My card was cloned and P20 000+_ was drawn from my account on the same day even with a P2000 limit. The service I have received from FNB in SA and Botswana is almost zero. They dont care that I am sitting in SA with not a cent in my pocket, nowhere to stay, nothing to eat, no petrol in my car and no possibility of getting of home. The big wheel turns FNB.
You got fantastic nice ideas there. I made a research on the topic and got most peoples will agree with your blog.
