    Channel 9 fires TODAY host over controversial $50,000 giveaway—find out why

    Lighthearted or not there needs to be boundaries and I think any implied personal gain whether the money was going to be donated to a charity or not.

    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...
