Once again, if people weren't greedy, they would not get scammed. There is enough information out there about scammers for everybody to be aware of. Clicking on links is just plain stupid and asking for trouble.

As a volunteer for one of Lions Clubs, who has worked at our sausage sizzle stand at Bunnings, I can assure you, the money is well spent on various charities. We are volunteers, which means we donate our time for free and receive no payment. I'm sorry you don't like the sausages or the smell...

People get sucked in because they think they are getting something for nothing or at a supposedly good price. People are just greedy.

I still maintain that there is enough publicity about scams, so that people should not get caught or respond to anything that is a little bit dodgy.

Yep, nothing new here. I get emails all the time from Netflix, Telstra, Stan etc. telling me my payment didn't go through, None of these emails ever address me by name, it's always dear Customer, which should ring alarm bells immediately. They are all rubbish and I delete them straight away...

No, I don't think it is harsh. There is enough publicity for everyone to be very aware of scams and scammers. Under what circumstances would you feel sorry for someone who was scammed?

I have to agree with everything Suzanne Rose said. The whole scamming thing is out there, and everyone knows about them, so it never ceases to amaze the number of people that are still being taken in. The people who get scammed are either very ignorant or just plain stupid.

Surely no one in this day and age are going to be taken in by this very obvious attempt at scamming. If they are, then no sympathy to them. With all the publicity surrounding scams, everyone should be aware by now. I get scam emails and texts all the time. I report them and delete them...

Once again, never, never do things like this without checking first. If this elderly lady has a computer, she should be aware of scams. also, if she was frightened or scared, then that is the time to hang up or sever the connection. With all the publicity about various scams, both online and...

And yet, I do and have everything on my mobile phone. Cards, banking, license everything. It has taken the place of my purse. I have all sorts of security in place and if ever I lost my phone no one can get into it unless they are a professional hacker and I don't think there are too many of...

Yep, really get them going. I love it!!

Definitely agree. Talk to them and verifiy.

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people being taken in by these scams. There is enough publicity about them for people to be wary. I'm sorry, but it is just sheer stupidity to send money off to a bank account without first verifying any of the information!! I get scam texts and phone...

I'm with Telstra and have had absolutely no problems at all.

I've never been charged when withdrawing cash from Woolies supermarket and I do it a lot.

Good for her. A win is a win, no matter how it comes about.

Can't say I'm a fan of pasta sauces in the jar. It may be more trouble to make your own, but ever so much tastier and also fresh and no preservatives.

I have never had a problem with any fresh meat that I have purchased at Woolworths be it lamb, beef, chicken or pork. I prefer my meat to have fat left on it, so when it cooks it doesn't dry out. Once cooked it's an easy matter to remove the fat. I do wonder sometimes about the compaints of...

I'm absolutely mystified as to how people can be taken in by scammers. We have been told over and over that any of the Govt. services do not send emails or texts with links. Same goes for the banks and other services. Over the years I have had numerous (too many to count) emails and texts and...
