[clug] fraud

[peter]

Thanks to all who replied to my question quoted below.

Quote > There was a short article recently about a person who had a 
bathroom renovation done, costing $11500. On completion, the builder 
emailed her a bill, which she paid via bank transfer. Builder didn't 
receive the money. Apparently the bank details on the builders email had 
been changed by a scammer.  Has anybody on CLUG seen anything like this 
before?  Can you explain how the scam could be implemented.... virus, 
malware etc ?

cheers

Pete
