The email messages below, which claim that the recipients should click the link within them to install a new, renewed or the latest mobile banking app, are fakes and are malicious. The emails were sent by cyber-criminals with a malicious attachment, who are attempting to infect the recipients computers with malicious computer program called a Trojan horse. Remember, never open an attached .ZIP or .RAR files unless you are expecting the file. This is because cyber-criminals are continuously sending out fake email messages with malicious attachments that will infect their victims' computers with a Trojan horse.
Once infected, the Trojan horse will allow cyber-criminals to remotely gain access to the victims' computers from anywhere around the world without their knowledge. This will allow the cyber-criminals to spy on them, steal their user names, passwords, personal and financial information, which will be used to steal their money or identity.
The victims of the fake email messages are advised to do a full scan of their computers with the anti-virus software installed on them.
