Coles Scam​

New SCAM stating that your Coles points will expire within 3 days, I checked with the real Coles and it is definitely a SCAM.

I don’t shop at coles and I get these messages I just delete them idiots.

 

[McNamara]

Yep, Coles and be careful now with ATO at tax time.

Thought as much because I have been getting emails like this at least once a week, I just delete them.

 

[Jash]

Eeverybody everywhere should now be aware of all these scams, surely!!!
Are people that greedy & stupid to believe still in the tooth fairy.
It's sad to read another person got scammed, this time her mothers money & well over a million dollars.

I’ve had several also, I just delete them…they always appear as being at night or very early in the morning, which is another signal that they’re coming from somewhere overseas..

Had numerous text messages regarding my Coles points are about too expire, just deleted them. They appear to have stopped now, only to be replaced with similar text telling me my Woolies points are about to expire.

Not to mention the one every night saying my toll fee is overdue, I live in WA, we don't have toll roads.

Same here Stepcar the toll one makes me laugh

Seriously do we really need to be warned about these scams still? I, like everyone else, get multiple scam e-mails and texts daily. Just how many times can we be warned, don't be greedy and don't click on any links in unsolicited messages and e-mails! At this point I think anyone who falls for them deserves to be scammed.

I treat everything as a scam these days because it usually is.

I treat everything as a scam these days because it usually is.

So, true. It is a sad fact of life now, scared to click on everything that appears in your inbox. Find I log into my bank accounts more often now, just to make sure my money is still in the accounts.

 

[Johan van Zalen]

Thankfully I don't do internet banking, l just don't trust them

 

[Wendy]

Sadly I've become very skeptical of everything now a days, just can't trust anything on line or the phone any more.

I watched a movie called the Bee Keep 2. Watching it was making me sick as this poor woman got scammed big time, she committed suicide. The bee keeper set out to avenge her. Good movie but full of swearing.
It showed how big some of these scammers could be

I've had both the Coles and Woolies texts, and it's funny that the number of points about to expire is exactly the same in both texts - 3200 points!

The SDCGroup is getting bigger and bigger, what if someone joins and doesn’t have much internet experience ? If we keep hearing about scams and we save just one person then isn’t it worth it? After all the smart Arses among us, who know All the scams could just scroll on by couldn’t they ??

I think the internet is in its peak and is about to be spoiled by too many scams and the banks are fast removing any liability , over the next few years the only people using it will be professionals ive stopped using it for banking and most bills

 

[deecreighton1]

Yep, Coles and be careful now with ATO at tax time.

And toll fees that I never use but get emails saying I owe them.

Yesterday I received a genuine email from Paypal saying that I needed to pay someone USD$299 and if I had clicked the 'pay' box it would have paid the person. Instead I blocked the person but take please take care with Paypal as there are traps for the unwary.
