    ABSA must be the phishing scam flavour of the day today. Here's another one:
    Do you know that with Absa Internet banking, you can eliminate the cost of receiving and transferring funds from or to your account?

    Absa has introduced a new scheme for all account holders to receive a return on incurred charges over the year.
    This benefit is available to all internet banking subscribers with a minimum balance of R1000.

    You are hereby advised to verify your account in other to qualify for this benefit.
