Yet another one of the phishing scams doing the rounds at the moment.
This particular one has “ABSA Refund Procedures” in the subject line.
At first look at the e-mail, everything looks pretty legit, the e-mail address that it supposedly comes from is “ib@absa.co.za” although as mentioned in my previous Phishing reviews, spoofing the e-mail address is [...]

Please remember…. Rule 1 about e-mail : NEVER CLICK ON LINKS WHEN IT COMES TO MONEY!!! EVER!!!
Below is the current Phishing scam going around on e-mail, this [...]

Another scam e-mail doing the rounds at the moment.
This e-mail apparently comes from SARS telling you that you are due a tax refund and that you must click on their link in the e-mail. They then request all your banking details, and they clean out your account.
Firstly this e-mail is not from SARS.. it is [...]

I have now received this e-mail about 5 times, I have received it from all 3 banks and considering I only bank with one of them, immediately warning bells should go off.
