FI Fraud : phishing - Standard Bank, South Africa
This fraud has a hook that the bank can't process a payment. If you want your money, it says, log on via what appears to be a valid address. But it's a fake. And if you don't do as they say? They will assume the account (not the payment) is fraudulent and freeze your account. Of course, the real Standard Bank will do no such thing.
