Every month, thousands of these email messages are sent out by scammers to trick their potential victims into stealing their username, password, financial or personal information. So, never click on link in an email message to sign into or log on to any of your online accounts.

Almost go directly to http://www.bankwest.com.au/ in web browser and sign into your account from there. If there is a problem with your account, you will be notified after signing or logging in.

If you were tricked into clicking the link in the fake email message and have entered your username and password for your Bankwest account on the bogus website that you were taken to, please change your Bankwest password immediately and contact Bankwest immediately.
