Scamming - Fraud
Here is another fake email being disguised as a legit message from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The email tries to trick the bank's customers into stealing their credentials, by claiming that they need to go through a verification purpose, or else their accounts will be suspended.

The Internet is a hard place to police because there are no borders and, the laws in one country do not apply in another. It is so easy for someone to move a website from location to another in minutes.to stop people like these, the world will have to come together and create a law (world law) that governs all countries.
Is there anyway we could stop these people before this gets out of control?
