Sorry, my Freudian(?) slip, drawn to my attention by Westnet. In
fact the URL in the email was ....wespac.com./index.... which is a
non-Australian address

Hi Severin,
Thanks
I don't use Westpac except on very odd occasions
but I thought I might just look at your SCAM page.
Interestingly I cannot get to it from here at this time.
wespac.com.au/index shows as no such page,
wespac.com.au gives a Bin Handling company in South Australia
and westpac with the T westpac.com.au seems to go to the Westpac
Banking home site.
On th odd occasions I do go to Westpac I go to URL below
which seems tp be the right location at the moment.
We have no money in that account anyway.

This afternoon, I received an email purportedly from my bank,
Wespac, informing me of new security arrangements and urging me to
login to the given URL and reenter my details. Given rumours
circulating on scams like this the warning bells sounded, in
addition, the URL, ....wespac.com.au/index... included /index which
is not in the normal logon URL. A check with Wespac revealed that
this is indeed a scam email BE WARNED!!!!
A login to that URL in fact takes you to an exact copy of the
Wespac welcome page but once your login details are entered your
money has gone!!
All take note, my guess is that all banks are being targeted
