Unconvincing

I received one of these phishing emails from a bank once,  the bank I actual use and it was very well done, so well done I felt the need to alert my bank to it and they sounded appreciative of me doing so. They probably weren't really, but better to be nice.

I'm afraid this one, supposedly from my isp and telephone company, just does not cut the mustard. If the dodgy English wasn't a give away, I very much doubt an Australian company would ask an Australia citizen with an Australian address for their zip code. If you don't know, we call them post codes.

I've just remembered something. Years ago some sites would want you to verify your address by entering your zip code. More than once I found recalling the tv show Beverley Hills 90210 useful.
