I received this email today claiming to be from "Qantas", with an apparent offer to claim a free $100 from Qantas Business Rewards. Now, Qantas would obviously never be that generous, so this looked like a scam to me, and sure enough the email sender is "[email protected]".
A few other giveaways are that the ABN and Qantas Points balance shown at the top do not belong to me.
Still, I was pretty impressed at how much this looks like a real Qantas email, complete with animated graphics. Which is concerning, because I suspect many others who are not as switched on will fall for this. It even managed to bypass my spam filter and landed in my regular inbox - not the junk/spam folder.
Be careful out there!
