Yeah I get ANZ & StGeorge ones too. I tried to report one and provide full
headers to the ANZ to get them to prosecute but they just responded with
"Oh just type www.anz.com directly, don't follow the link." IE they didn't
get that I was trying to provide evidence.
Just today I got spammed on an email address only used for SLUG (ie people
are harvesting emails from the slug list). This mob was trying to sell US
social security, passports, credit cards with ccv's etc. I'm trying to
figure out where I can report this, the www.afp.gov.au didn't help much,
there's a US report thing but you've gotta be a US citizen it seems. Maybe
I should bait them? Any law enforcement people got any ideas?
