The increase of these kind of emails might be due to the IE URL Spoof Vuln
that has become very well publised over recent weeks / months.

Subject: Re: [nznog] Credit card fraudsters......
was that sent from domestic or somewhere far off overseas?
I have seen quite an increase in these kinds of emails, similar ones said to
be from top Banking corperations and they even include actual logo's etc but
the page you go to to change your password is way off overseas at some weird
IP address instead of https://secure.westpac... etc Also, there is a very
convincing PayPal one floating around also, getting unsuspecting users to
change their password to 'increase security'
