Scams like these

[AustraliaPoochie]

A bit better grammar and the email as by VPS could be "scary".
Has more of an African spin to it, this one.
Not so much India Indian based English by the reading of it.
Maybe add an "n" to the end of each, Australia...

As for the Straitman one and as by Jurahn,

I've had three of these now. Looks like I'm never getting another parcel again LOL.

Re: the fake Auspost one that come from a 04 Aust mobile phone number, my came from a 0420 and was from Aramex (Dnana) and had exactly the same wordings.

Got this the other day:

Overdue warning: your bus cocaine failed to be deducted, and will be restricted if it is not processed for a long time kjnwx.vip

Still not sure what they were trying to say.

They probably intended to send that to someone in the advertising industry, it would make sense to them.

I got the Terrorist one too. Just $100 to prove I'm not a Terrorist and claim USD15,500,000.00?

Nah I don't need the money....

 

[Buzzard]

Compared to the one received by @VPS, mine is boring.

@Cruiser Elite that's probably one of the funniest scams I've read in a long time.

Hilarious that they haven't researched the rank of "Colonel" in the AFP!

Or had to rely on a personal gmail account….

 

[Buzzard]

Scammer got my name correct but I'm sure not going to respond.

 

[OZDUCK]

I was more amused that they used the name of the Attorney General in the Barnett LNP W.A Government for the District Attorney - just enough research done to get it all wrong.

Has anyone being spam called by the Wine Concierge

I was out of the country for four months and there were numerous missed calls starting with 08 8473.

I got a phone call from them last week and they asked if I wanted some wine and said I'm good thanks and he said well that's a shame and started giving a spiel about their shiraz and I replied I'm good thanks and he just ignored me and talked loudly over me so I hung up.

Today I got another call and I said no please don't call me again and he was just in sales mode.

Yep. Think I blocked the number.

Yep. Think I blocked the number.

I can’t because the last 3 digits are always different. If they ring me again I’ll report them

So received this interesting text this morning: "你好，我是陈雨，我想预订一束郁金香，麻烦您帮我预留一下，我明天过来拿，谢谢！"
Should I leave it here for now, or do you want me to translate it?

The suspense is killing me. None of you tried.
It says ... "Hello, I am Chen Yu, I would like to order a bouquet of tulips, please reserve it for me, I will come and pick them up tomorrow, thank you!"

Read somewhere that everyones mobile number is on the dark web and so phones can just get spammed.

just need a rule change saying if you want to text you have to be registered to a person and if you get caught its a fine.
