Wow, do they ever stop.
Still I think you would have to
be pretty stupid to fall for that.
The people who dreamt that scheme up must be a bit short upstairs as well
Who is going to believe that the government is going to provide them with a debit card for $38,000???

People should NOW be aware that no government departments, banks etc email you about changing your details, banking details etc ..
And if things sound to good to be true such as this email...DELETE DELETE DELETE DO NO OPEN DELETE....

Yes, scams all too frequent these days, I got a text message apparently from Medicare stating they have frozen my account after they found unusual behaviour, just blocked it.

You'd be surprised how many would go for this.

A dead giveaway in this case is the .wix at the end of the URL.

Also stating the amount is in AUD

With everyone struggling to make end meet these days this would be very tempting for some. The 38 000AUD is a bit obvious.

The one thing reinforced on a twice-daily basis in the SDC newsletter is that there is NO SHORTAGE of terminally-stupid people.

Me too

People are still falling for Nigerian princesses and Ukrainian models, why wouldn't they fall for a free debit card from the government?

Stupid is always in fashion.

Like all commentators on this site - enough is enough, however, we have tried to send info to the scam address but it is so difficult - we are in our 80s - we are being constantly scammed with phone messages and the occasional email, we have now given up as we now believe that whoever is watching scams from Government have either given up or work from home and forget what they are doing, you know - Days of our lives !! We personally do not believe that the Government are trying hard enough to stop this racket, so, it looks like we will have to be careful for the rest of our lives.

And there will be plenty more to follow.

 

[ToniaKisliakov]

so easy to see its a scam

 

[Reet]

Asd the saying goes if it is too good to sound true then it is not true. No-one could be giving away that kind of money ever.

I was about to give my friends a warning about this but though I would do a google search on it first. Nothing there...

A friend on Messenger tried to get me to apply.
Not likely.

There are many people with disabilities that are vulnerable to these scams. Not to mention some elderly can be confused by this. That is why its important to pass on this info to help others. I know 3 of my friends who are not 'stupid' who have been scammed in the past.
