Another myGov scam that could end up in your email inbox​

Hey members,

I just want to start off with saying thank you to all the members who have emailed us any scams they have received. It is so disheartening to see how many are out there, but I just think the more we educate each other on the scams we are coming across the better, because if we know what scams to look out for then we aren't going to fall for them!

This scam was sent in by member Toni A. It's concerning because it does look like it's coming from myGov because they have spelt it correctly, they've mentioned Medicare etc. Just remember, when you get anything like this the best thing you can do is NOT click on the email. Instead, go straight to your myGov and see if there is any messages waiting for you in there. The likely outcome will be that there is no message waiting for you in myGov because this is a total scam...

As always, please let us know if you've come across any other scams!

Keep an eye out, members!

Funny that! my husband and I were trying to get him registered, and after too many attempts, we gave up. It seems going around in circles is pandemic on certain websites. Technology sucks when government tell you its a must, and you cannot get anywhere, We are physically going to Centrelink to sort it out. Scammers are stealing our precious oxygen.

If you're on a laptop/computer when you get these. Hover your mouse over the words "click here", or whatever link there is on the message, and you'll see there's some strange link that's got nothing to do with the subject.
