'Consumer alerts'

The problem is that in these days of internetbased commerce, the ways in which people are trying to steal our money are numerous and varied.

In the last week, we've had several reports of scams, all internet-based. The first was an email that claimed to be from Standard Chartered Bank but clearly wasn't really. In fact it was a very clever "phishing" attack. You can see from the picture of the email that it's a fairly alarming thing to arrive in your Inbox.
