I, Sydney, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Nedbank eNote”:
How stupid do you think I am? First I get a similar e-mail from “Standard Bank” and NOW “Nedbank” wants me to open the attached PDF. Did you Mother never tell you that a file with a HTM or HTML extension is NOT a PDF but one that will open a web page which could hide all types of dodgy stuff? Do not open or click on the attached file, in my case the name was: Nedbank7329xxxxx182(1).htm
