Scam warning

Beware a new "Gift" from QF...

In celebration of our 103rd year, we are excited to offer a special gift...

Looks a little more realistic than the usual efforts, but the standard obvious red flags.

Presumably came from Hudson Pfish...

Saw the same. ........nearly clicked on it.

I just received this exact same scam email yesterday. Sounds like it must have been a success, the scammers revived it.

I have an inbuilt BS detector for Qantas specific scams.

If it looks like anything worthwhile that'll be given away by "Qantas", it's gotta be a scam.

Sadly, this seems to be the way with more than a few revivified scams recently.

Just waiting on the Coles scammers to tell me that I'm about to lose 3,022 Qantas points.

Received the Qantas one as well, sent it off the Swiss provider, I realise the "sender" may not be the actual one that has sent it, but it may help.

Scammers are so stupid. All they have to do to get us is throw a double sc promotion email, and half of the AFF members will get hacked. But a Qantas gift? Goes straigth to the trash folder.

A good reminder that when using "free" public networks at airports, hotels etc, that a VPN is good protection from any leakage due to encryption.
