Scams like these

Idiots think I'm going to click on a link when I have never used FedEx :D
You can bet your last dollar some "idiot" is going to click on that link.

I still can't believe the number of people who have fallen for the ATO iTunes scam.
 
We have a new Russian admirer. Well, at least I do.
Hi a nice young man!

My name is Larisa! I am living in Moscow at the moment!
After reading the information on your page, I was pleasantly surprised.
I would like to pal up with you, because you have all the qualities, which must have a real man!

Just wandering (but not clicking)
Fred

Ok, guess what, anyone has this?
Someone wants to hook up with me in Miami, US, and here's the rub or the sting.
Sender is "Kevin Allan", but when I hover over sender, its "Contrabass(at)cyberinvestigations.net"!!!
Scary.

I should be able to exchange money without fearing I'll be scammed.

Of course. But it sounds like the money changers in Thailand are learning from their Bali counterparts :( Over there the lower rates are often offered for shops just off the main roads... and the counting is so quick. They often skim one note (or more) off the bottom... even after they count it out in front of you.

I usually only exchange $100-$200 at a time so not easy to scam.

This time around was unusual as I wanted to exchange ~$10000 and wanted to get best rate possible. May need to do that next few trips too so need to be very careful.
 
What a coincidence today.I am owed $18625 from datapro computer systems and exactly the same amount from Oneroof.co.ltd.

That might pay for my next holiday!;):)
 
All I'm getting is German spam and lots of it. I have no idea what sort of scams they are as I don't read German.
 
Several calls in the last few days from "Telstra support" about the error messages they are receiving from our computer.... yawn.
 
Exciting news for me this morning:
