Busy day for the scammers.

A "Telstra" bill (from Hong Kong) that took a second look and a check of the incoming email address....

A supply order for MYOB wanting an electronic sugnature.

Be careful in your wandering
Fred

I reckon the one that wanted a sugnature is from NZ

I received 2 interesting emails from Microsoft Outlook today to add my 2 JQ bookings to the Outlook calendar.

They look genuine but this is not something I requested. Are they taking a sneak peak at what I'm doing and then trying to use it for their benefit.

It threw me off when I saw the title of the email. Still don't quite understand the angle.

 

[JessicaTam]

Brand new 2015/16 BMW @drron? I wonder where they have been storing it for the last year or so.

 

[rainbowgirl]

I got an SMS scam during the week about winning some money in a Coke promotion. I haven't had these for years. I used to get them a lot on my dumb phone but can't remember getting any messages like these on my smart phone I've been using a few years.

Are there any philanthropists out there? Surely you want to help a dying woman get her last wish! The BANQUE REGIONALE DE SOLIDARITE (B R S) operates in Togo, Burkina Faso etc.

Hello,


As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday, and am contacting you because i really do need your help, and i want you to help me with all your effort and time for just seven to Ten workings days of your time. I want you to be honest and truthful with me that you will help me with my last wish as a dying woman


My name is Mrs. AGS SALOMI, I am terminally ill and bed ridden, I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer Having accepted my condition I decided to entrust some money I have (US$ 4.5 Million) deposited in BANQUE REGIONALE DE SOLIDARITE (B R S) to either a philanthropic organization or devoted individual that will utilize this money for charitable activities. 30% of the money is allocated to you, to ensure that you are prepared for the task; the balance 70% of this money will be used by you in all sincerity to fund philanthropic organization, orphanages.


I am taking this decision because I don't have any child or devoted relations whose behavior has left much to be desired and above all I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence my bold decision to contact you, a total stranger. Since my health is regressing by the minute, you will have to tell me a little about yourself, because I got your email address from the Internet.


With the information, I will make arrangement to prepare the Authorization through an Attorney for you to get possession of the Deposit. I will give you the name and contact of the bank where the money is lodged in thereafter, so you can claim the funds.


Until I hear from you, I pray that this letter bring you and your family good tidings.You can get back to me through this Emailaddress mrsagssalomixx_x


God be with you.

Mrs. AGS SALOMI

Got a strange email today, which I originally thought was from our GM who is away on sick leave,

Hi Bundy,

Are we able to make a payment abroad before bank cut off time ?

Kindly advise.

Regards,

Digging further, it shows a josegan***@gmail.com the *** are numbers but showed there name as the sender.

Rather odd.

I didn't reply to it but I did forward to their real email asking what was this about, doesn't look genuine,

Tricky, need to watch as the senders name looked right, just the email wasn't.
