It's trivial to report these as a web forgery in IE and Firefox. Why don't you do that?
 
I have received 11 mails since early this morning from so called ABSA. Links are to different domains. Someone is gonna get caught today!

Can't believe people still get spam like these.

Rofl, how exactly am i going to mark off these "absa" mails as spam, when im an absa user? Then my normal legit emails are blocked? I block these each time i receive them, but next time its from a different location and IP and obviously i cant block on the subject line or from "Absa" as it will block all the legit emails.

When it's from ABSA, its from ABSA, not www.newlook.absa.co.za or something similar.

Anyway, your bank will probably never ask you to login via email anyways.
 
I prefer taking a few minutes with these sites to see the layout.. then building a quick bot to input a large volume of bullsh*t data into their forms.....
 
Of course it's a hoax. Why you even opened it is a mystery in itself. Hit the beeeg delete button and move on.

Or do as others have suggested and enter your horrible neighbour's details on the site :-)
