I had an email today warning me that my MacAfee virus protection was about to run out and I needed to do something about it at once. To be honest, I didn’t read any further, just deleted it, since I don’t use MacAfee.

The same thing happened to me today so I did & deleted it, I did'nt even open it for the same reason I don't use MacAfee.

I regularly get phone calls claiming that there has been "unusual activity on my Visa or Mastercard." So I say, "So which is it? Visa or Mastercard?" They say, "Visa!" I say, "Wrong!" They say, "Mastercard!" I say, "Still wrong! I don't have a credit card!" And they hang up on me!

Lately I received at least 5 emails a day saying my McFee has expired, and I have been infected with at least 5 viruses. I do use McFee, and I know when their communication is for real, and not all these weird names and email addresses {they are always the first things I check out}. It seems I have also won heaps of tools from Bunnings and also phones.

I get the same also and I also don't use McAfee. Have won also from Bunnings and Westpoint if only I would click that little button to claim. They are a damn nuisance, have tried to unsubscribe to some of the McAfee ones (not that I subscribed in the first place)and it doesn't even allow you to do that.

Have received many emails asking to update my tax residency information from paypal. Do you think this a scam please?

I wouldn't reply. Contact the ATO or your accountant regarding your information, not an anonymous paypal person.
