A new Internet banking scam is doing the rounds, this time targeting DBS customers.

The scammers - known as phishers - sent out an e-mail on Tuesday under the name "DBS Bank Ltd" and with the subject header "DBS Internet Banking Security Update".

The e-mail claims that a new security system has been in place since March and calls on recipients to click on a link provided to see if they are protected. The link makes no mention of DBS and has the domain name "salonworldknoxfield.com".

This registrant and the administrative contacts are in the Australian state of Victoria while the technical contact is in Utah in the United States.

Some DBS customers received an e-mail advisory from the bank on Wednesday, highlighting the presence of phishing sites that mimic genuine banking sites. The advisory also warned clients not to provide confidential information, saying that the bank's staff would never ask for such details.
