Report spoof - hoax emails and phishing scams

Recently the Internet Banking Industry in Australia and other organisations around the world have been subjected to various spoof - hoax email and phishing scams.

Spoof - hoax emails are sent randomly to thousands of email addresses in the hope that they will find banking customers.  They intentionally give the false impression that they have been sent by a real company (such as NAB) and are designed to deceive recipients into revealing their confidential security information, such as Internet Banking login details. 

Generally these emails contain a link to a fraudulent website which looks identical to the genuine site. Recipients are requested to enter their User Id (NIN) and password (PIN), often on the premise of "confirming your security details". These are then recorded and used by fraudsters to steal your funds.

NAB Internet Banking matters will only be communicated electronically via the secure messaging facility within Internet Banking.

NAB will never ask you to disclose your password
