Phish of the Day: St George Bank

This was received at the address which attracts the vast majority of my "scams targeted at Australians" junk, and it's fairly and squarely targeted at Australians. The body text is as follows.

"St George Bank" and "Optus" are, as far as I'm aware, well-known entities in Australia. That's how phishing works, of course. I've never seen a genuine St George Bank payment processing notification, but I doubt that this one looks very authentic. I'm also pleased to report that the URL referenced in the spam is now 404, although it may have been active earlier.

The domain name "stgeorgebank.org" was registered on 20-Oct-2005 11:37:09 -0000. The spam itself originated at 83.176.34.230 (d83-176-34-230.cust.tele2.ch) on Sat, 22 Oct 2005 15:24:30 -0000.
