Good Morning All.... my name is Carol and I am 77yrs young and thoroughly enjoy the info being put forward in the Newsletters.

I want to share this with you as I think we may have a possible new Scam through SERVICES AUSTRALIA.
On Easter Saturday afternoon I received a call from a woman who says her name was Amanda and had a few questions she wanted to ask me and if I had the time.
Immediately suspicious, I stated I didn't think Government Services worked on a weekend. She replied we work 24/7.
I refused to answer questions over the phone and asked for the calls details to be forwarded to me via an email to which she agreed.
After checking my inbox in MyGov there has been no such email as yet .
It seems we need to be more diligent than ever before. ...Watch this space

Regards, Carol

Oh, dear! This sounds very alarming, @CarolMal! Thank you so much for sharing this with the members. We're glad to hear that you didn't entertain that call and nothing too serious happened. Please be careful!

As I expected there was no further communications from "Services Australia ", no more phone calls or an Email so yes this was a Scam call
