Interestingly enough, there is a 97+ page thread on NZ Scambuster’s site (www.scambusters.co.nz) documenting the phishing activities of Romanian scammers on Trade Me. Keith Ng appears to have somewhat missed the point, in that most if not all of the hundreds/thousands of compromised Trade Me accounts represents a further risk to all other accounts they have traded with + feedback has displayed email addresses for 60 days after a trade has had feedback placed also receiving phishing emails. Invariably the perpetrators of these Trade Me phishing scams are intent on heisting Kiwi dollars off by Western Union and never delivering up the goodies back to the eager gullible souls expecting laptops, Xboxes and Mobile Phones to arrive from over yonder.

I’ve been receiving emails from banks to update my account info ,and i’m not even with that bank.How does that work?
I think these individuals are just trying their luck with everyone.
Your bank will never send you a email asking for personal or account info.Not through email or Telephone.

Funny you say this. I have been recieivng emails from Bank of America which I have an account and it is clearing some sort of phishing scam. I am not sure if I should send an email to bank of america or just not click on the links. it is so frustrating. I almost cannot tell what is real and whats not anymore
