I have received many of these messages also recently, I also have received phone scams, some time ago a young man called from obviously overseas to tell me my services were going to be suspended if I didnt pay my bill... I told him he should be ashamed of himself trying to scam people and how would he feel if someone did this to his mother, he hung up immediatley.

I also have had many scammers call saying my computer has been infected and they want to access My computer and I tell them Hell NO they soon hang up as well I remember My Mother getting same scams and She never owned a computer you just have to stay vigilant and do Not click any links and read the email address it is from you can tell it is FAKE just by the email most times

I get repeat emails from someone quoting the name of a friend stating that there are some photos that I must see. This has happened with 4 different names of friends but I have asked them if they sent an email to me and they all say no. I delete the emails unopened.

 

[Drew62]

always pays to check with people you know if they sent you the email and if not then delete it right away and block sender

 

[Luckyus]

An email from this governments about an EFT payment without any promise of elections?

I seem to have pissed off scam callers - I start quoting the Old Testament at them. I don't know how many get past the "Thou shalt not bear false witness" part when I go on to say the caller is doing just that in to break the "thou shalt not steal"

This morning I had an email that was a scam but it was so realistic I was almost fooled. Supposedly from the Commonwealth bank addressed to 'Dear valued customer' stating that at 12.28 AM today attempts were made to get into my account and I had to click a button to find out more. I called the CBA help line to ask if it was a scam. I was lucky as I got help from a nice lady named Anita who was in Bunbury and she told be that they will always address a customer by their first name. Of course I did not push any buttons but blocked the sender and deleted it. So many scams going around now and I have been getting emails from people I know saying they have some photos I should see but my friends are not sending them, once again I deleted them. Just be very careful what you open.
