The email message below, which claims that the National Australia Bank Limited servers have been recently upgraded and the recipients need to verify their online accounts before the final upgrade process, is a phishing scam. The fake email message was not sent by the National Australia Bank Limited, but by cyber-criminals. Therefore, the instructions in the fake message should not be followed and the links in it should never be clicked. The links will take potential victims to a fake National Australia Bank Limited website designed to trick them into stealing their National Australia Bank Limited's usernames and passwords, and other personal information. It is not recommended for online users to click on a link in an email message to sign into online accounts. They should instead go directly to their online account providers' websites and sign into their accounts from there. This is the best method of preventing phishing scams.
