have you notified AIB? im sure they'd like to hear about it, and maybe they could get the site shutdown (if it hasn't already been taken down)

Yeah, the sub standard grammar kind of give it away. If they did write their e-mails like that I'd stop banking with them.

I got one at my home e-mail address.
I also knew it was a scam but when you look at the web address
you might think it was legit.

AIB have a warning about it on their 24Hour banking page, so they know about it already. It's been doing the rounds (I didn't get it though, muahahahah)

Hmm, it's from a DSL connection in Finland. Should be easy to shut down.

How feasible is a hack like that, anyway. You have to call up AIB if you want to add someone to your list of people whom you wish to transfer cash to, don't ya?

Wouldn't be that easy for a finnish person to ring up Aib pretending to be you, if your name is Seamus Mc Irish lad from kerry, would it?

They could pay someone with an irish accent to do it for them. The dsl line may of been hijacked, my friend is from finaland he can get a 100mb line for 8 euro per month. So I'm sure lots of non tech people have very good connections there

24 Banking you can add any bank details (company or person) to your payments so long as you have the password to confirm it.

Just got this spam. All the AIB text is an image, while hidden below in white on a white background is this...

Is it serious? American Music Awards some advice about things do happen. Ellis Island in 1960 Getaway Passwords in 1812 in 1804 BACK TO in 1901 American Express Small world! Thanks for visit we get on well Diablo 2 How about you? Lara Kroft in 1990 Schwarzenegger in 1800 how much in 1914 in 1800

Very strange!
