Ok, now have a look at the source email address :   "wia.org.au Security Admin" <sales@smtp-deal.info> ---- I might add that smtp-deal.info goes nowhere !

I wasn't prepared to push the "Keep Password Now " button in the original email (and not visble in the copy/pasted version above, but is in the PDF, and as per the hidden web link pasted in red above) to see where it actually went.

If you receive one of these emails, use the Delete key and get rid of it.

The email addrress above is purposefully edited...

Things must be desperate in the world of scammers. Now the WIA is a target.

Not sure what they would find. Maybe a bandplan or repeater list.

I don't think the WIA stores credit card details.

This is along the same lines as the "you have been selected to receive a new iPhone" from Coles, Woolworths and Aldi.

We all need to remain vigilant.
