Spot the difference: Can you tell what's wrong with this Telstra bill?
Telstra customers are being targeted by a sophisticated email scam, which has seen countless users already fooled by a legitimate-looking email from hackers posing as the telco.
9news.com.au reports the email bears all the hallmarks of a standard Telstra email bill, down to the standard company subject line, “Your new Telstra Bill is ready to view”.
And as you can see below, at a glance the phony bill has the same design and formatting.
But if you look a little closer there are some discrepancies.
9news.com.au reports the phony domain Telstra users are redirected to asks the would-be bill payer to deposit excessive funds to view the bill.
Mail Guard editor Emmanuel Marshall said the “malware” scam was particularly devious.
“A recipient who clicks on the ‘View Bill’ button will be directed to a malicious website that will deliver malware to their computer,” Mr Marshall said.
