Yeah, that whole text is a dead set really humungus red flag. Big fella pus pus!
Merely a touch away from deletion out of mind and life.

 

[Drew62]

yeah I knew it was not legit by the email it was sent from plus Mygov send digital letters not emails

 

[Chicky]

Its the older people that don't know, that I feel get taken in by these scamers.

Yes 100%.
Truly despicable people, taking advantage of one's declining alertness when getting older.
Not much scares me, but am horrified at the thought of being tricked by such bottom feeders when I lose a certain level of awareness.

I agree. Whenever MyGov needs to inform me of anything, I get an SMS and/or and email asking me to go to the website to view whatever it is they want to tell me. They have never asked me to update information using links in an email.

 

[Drew62]

yes I agree with you Annemarie and I also feel bad for the elderly who have no idea about the scammers out there

I also received a message From My Gov! Please be aware that this is a scam!

 

[Ezzy]

I have been receiving regular emails, supposedly from Pinterest telling me they have had to suspend access to one of my Pins due to duplication. A further email tells me to use a certain number to access this. Those numbers can be received several times a day & change on each occasion. I just ignore & delete these.

I would be immediately suspicious of such a message: MyGov have never emailed me, a text message telling me that there is a new message in my MyGov Inbox (as happened yesterday... and there was...) and to login to MyGov to read it but NEVER with a hyperlink for me to follow. I would immediately treat such an email as this as an attempted phishing scam and take a screenshot before deleting and immediately report it to Scamwatch!

This email screams scam. Please contact the the so called emailer. Even if it is Centrelink and you are on hold for ever better to double check if you are not sure.
Kind regards to all Vicki

Yes I got the same on too. They are really low lifes that prey on people. Always getting scam messages every day. Is there nothing in place that these cannot be picked up?

The scammers went to great effort to be convincing. The fact remains, myGov will never send such a message.
