Customers are advised that we’ve identified fake websites impersonating ANZ Transactive Global, with searches for ANZ Transactive being redirected to a fake site. The fake website’s log in page asks for a customer’s User ID, Password, Token or ANZ Digital Key, and mobile number to urgently update customer details through a series of verification pages, and ends with a message saying an ANZ representative will be calling them shortly. This information gives the fraudster enough details to be able to gain trust as an ANZ employee with the intention of committing fraud.
Fraudsters pay for ads to secure top search engine positions, exploiting users’ trust and increasing the likelihood of successful scams.
Tips to help you bank securely:
- Go directly to the anz website (anz.com.au) to log-in instead of through search engines or hyperlinks.
- Check for misspelled words in the URL and website
- Refrain from clicking on links tagged as an Ad
Below is an example of such a malicious ad and fake website:
