Sooner or later the scammongrels will work out a way whereby an email with a legit "from" address finds a way to snare you in their grubby bloody hands without any action from you other than to simply receive the message in the first place.

yeh I agree the internet has become a mine field for people especially elderly, someone has tried to access my mygov recently and I am locked out.........a trip up the road is needed for me I think

When I get an email like this one I always check my MGov account and 9 times out of 10 there is nothing there.

Get these all the time. I don't click on the link I go into myGov and check

RoseMHR · Monday at 9:19 AM

I concur, I always double check with the app. I never click on any email or txt msg links.
I'm a proud 'Blocker' and a 'Spam/Scam Reporter'. I won't even answer a phone call unless you're a Contact!! If it's that important, leave a msg!!

I alway check into Mygove and look for messages from them as well But nothing there and I NEVER click any links on suspicious emails either

pmboucher · Monday at 9:45 AM

The email address it came from is a dead giveaway straight off the bat.

Shazza26 · Monday at 10:09 AM

Yes I have received several of these. One even said I might have to do an adjustment.

One of the things I love about my iPhone is that when I click on the link to the senders email credentials it shows me the random email address and confirms the spam.

If they look “legit” then I go in via the MyGov app itself or through a browser - never those links.

I just check with my accountant

Is just good to see SDC members being Vigilant with these scams

HI i had this happen last week with the scam

MyGov <[email protected] - they have to be joking - SPAM

Oaklegs · Monday at 10:22 AM

Always check the senders address, this one should be hung by his balls from a tree.

Have seen several MyGov emails but one I recently received is from CentreLink.
I have nothing to do with CentreLink so already know it is bogus.

Judio · Monday at 10:58 AM

There are so many these days - i never open any of them. Always either go online or to the app. Safer.

Suzanne rose · Monday at 11:16 AM

I received the exact email and just deleted

springburn · Monday at 11:37 AM

Can't subscribers communicate using proper English. Many elderly users may not always understand modern computer speak. For example what is an "addy". Meaningless to most people.

NoNoNoNoNoNo · Monday at 11:40 AM

I always check the senders details - if it ain't the business, it ain't legit - I report for phising to the appropriate business then delete. I never reply to unsolicited emails -I call the business - saves a lot of stress (well not always if it's government and you sit for 2 hours on hold)

Wouldn’t fall for that one.
