Hello,
A woman from my bank (BENDIGO BANK) called me today and advised me of an unusual transaction that had just taken place via internet banking. The transaction was flagged on their system as possible fraud... She was calling to confirm if I had actually performed this transaction or not?? $4,900 was transferred to some womans account in QLD...... I promptly advised her that it was certainly not me!!! They caught it very quickly so she said she should be able to have the money back in my account by the end of the day. Obviously my internet banking has been shut down for the time being to stop any more of this! The bank are express posting out an electronic security token gizmo to me which will generate a unique code which changes every 36seconds and I will then need to enter that code when logging in as well as the usual username and password... This will stop the same thing from happening again - because even if some thief gets there hands on my username, password and code....by the time they enter the details in, the code required to login will have changed! Tonight I have run Ad-aware on my computer and it picked up a number of nasties, including some "monitoring" ones...which were probably the source of the theft... I never received a bogus email, let alone clicked on one! Anyway, I am interested to hear any other people's stories regarding internet banking thefts etc...????
