Thanks for the heads-up.
Is ‘Scanwatch’ proactive or reactive?

If I get any emails from banks or government agencies I ring them separately to check the the veracity?

That's how I knew it was and felt compelled to notify centrelink that it was going around and wanted to share it to the SDC community to warn them

Ok, I dont think that's necessary, not everyone especially some older seniors are in a position to be aware of these things.

Do you ever get an answer? Whenever I ring, no one answers the phone.
 
Thankyou
