[AusNOG] Phishing attempt using an Australian bank account

[Guy Ellis]

IMHO Move very quickly and start with your Client's bank not the 
destination.

There are many Australian BSB numbers owned by used by Clearing Houses 
such as Cuscal (NSW) that effectively work as a front for International 
Scammers.
Funds hitting these accounts are forwarded almost immediately to the 
scammers and not recoverable.

Cuscal have a range of BSBs from 802-xxx to 809-xxx.

I'm sure Cuscal is not the only one doing this.

Regards,
