If I paid him $200 in store gift cards, then he could settle the warrant. I hung up after telling the scammer what I thought of him and that he needs to...

    Warning: What an Aussie found at the ATM could affect your next transaction

    There should be CCTV camera footage of those responsible for setting these ATM skimmers up. I would imagine this would take a few minutes to do because they would need to bring the equipment with them and install the skimmer and camera.

    Are you unknowingly helping cyber criminals? This scam is fooling many

    I agree in principle. However, scammers rely on those who are aged, taking medication which increases confusion, busy or in a hurry, worried about other things in their lives etc, etc. Scammers work on the success of 3% of all of the people they contact with a scam. If a scammer sends out...

    Is your mobile service worse since 3G shutdown? See why hundreds are upset now!

    I think part of the problem may lay in the devices some of these customers are using. If a device is not rated for the 4G or 5 G networks, then it will not work in that environment. These people probably need to talk to their Telstra or Optus providers and upgrade to newer devices that will...

    'That's crazy': Dad faces hundreds in fines due to unforeseen circumstances

    Children are notorious for fiddling around with seatbelts. My wife and I solved the problem with a child safety seat. The harness used in a child's safety seat means the child cannot move the safety belt harness off their shoulders.

    'That's crazy': Dad faces hundreds in fines due to unforeseen circumstances

    It comes down to safety. Children are notorious for fiddling with seatbelts. If the seatbelt slips off the child shoulders and at that time the car is involved in an accident, then the child could be seriously hurt or even killed. The parents should either place the child in a proper child...
