Scam about iPhones​

This scam email arrived twice during the week claiming to be from "Apple", with no other sender details provided. See text below. Links have been removed for safety. How fortuitous that I "won" a prize in a contest I never entered! Note there is a payment for shipping, requiring the recipient to enter their account details. Delivery information, which is not quoted, is required. In other words, they have no idea who you are or where to send this mythical prize that somehow you won out of thin air. You just need to give them all your account details. Laughable!

Ah, dear... Yeah. That sounds too good to be true, and is definitely a scam. Thank you for alerting us, member @Jan A!

That and other similar ones have been doing the rounds for years

I "won" a phone once through Optus, all I had to do was pay a monthly fee. When I said to them " I shouldn't have to pay a monthly fee as I won it and I should be able to pick my own telco" they got a bit narky with me. A couple of days later my sister in law got the same phone call and she was ecstatic that she won. I think she is still tied to Optus

I’ve been getting these texts for the last three days. I just delete them And block the caller.

I do exactly the same….if it seems too good to be true, then it most likely is!!

The scary thing is since it was opened whoever is behind it may have access to your phone already. NEVER open a message/email from anyone you don't know or company that you don't check the sender address on first. If it doesn't look right don't open it just delete it. And if you didn't enter a competition but won then delete it too coz it's definately a scam then.
