Just thought I would let everyone know last night/today must have been
the day for it!

Got an email from admins§commenwealthbank.com today about new security
features etc.

The links and login screen look exactly the same and the actual Netbank
login screen. 

I wonder how many people gave away there details??

These are everywere and into everything.

Subject: RE: [DNS] RE: Is this from Melbourne IT or just a scam? 

Hello All,

Just confirming what most have already worked out - it is a scam.

Internet fraud is a growing problem internationally.  Unfortunately well
known companies tend to attract the scammers.  We have taken action
against such activities in the past, and of course we are taking action
against this latest problem.

Melbourne IT has been made aware since this morning that unsolicited
notices are being sent from the email address noreply§melbourneit.com.au
to
registrants in which the entity sending the notices:

1. Claims to be Melbourne IT 

2. Claims that the registrant's domain name is due for renewal; and

3. Asks the registrant to access the online facility and make payment to
renew the domain name at, for example,
http://www.melbourneit.com.au:renew.cgi§80.47.222.225?XXXXX.COM (Note
that the URL appears to be changing).

The entity sending these notices has no association with Melbourne IT.
The notices appear to be intended to mislead and deceive the registrants
in order to obtain their credit card details. 

Melbourne IT is pursuing this matter down a number of avenues to try to
ensure that the online facility is rendered inoperable. Melbourne IT has
also reported the matter to the relevant police authorities.

Melbourne IT has put up a consumer alert located at
http://www.melbourneit.com.au/renewalpayments.html.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin

excellent wireless network!)
