Community Action - SPAM/non-Scam Report
Occasionally, incorrectly categorized emails get into the Scamdex Scam Email Database and need to be removed. If this
email has Personally Identifiable Information (PII), or is, in your opinion, from a bona-fide entity, let us know.
Scamdex will, as soon as is practicable, take-down any emails that in our opinion should not

We recently noticed quite a number of unusual
log-in attempts into your St.George Online Banking Account from an
IP address different from your own we have on file,So we noticed
that your account is having some insufficient security problems for
it to have been accessed by a third party without your
authorization.
If you recently accessed your account on a
travel trip, the Sign on in attempts might have been made by you.
However, if you are the rightful account holder, follow the link
below and make sure you update your online banking informations,as
we try to verify your identity and put an extra security on your
online banking account.
The log-in attempt was made from:
IP address: 71.229.9.95 ISP host:
c-71-229-9-95.hsd1.al.bigbong.net.au
If you decide to ignore
this request, we will temporarily lock your online account access
and conduct further investigations.
We ask that you allow at
least 72 hours for the case to be investigated.
Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
