Go Away - she wrote to me FIRST!

My lovely friend at 0412 454 35* has sent me a message, my phone detected it as spam.
*((Your Income Tax has been credited on your ATO profile. Click her...))*
I don't dare to open an further.
Will block my scammer friend, ... this time.
From the grammar, I would say, India Indian.

Got this one today … couldn’t help myself & responded that submerging it in a cup of dry rice for 2-3 days should fix the problem.

 

[Bundy Bear]

Now this is probably not a scam but its very unspecific with name or date

All companies when sending texts should have the persons name.
Linkt is probably getting hit the worst but I can’t ever remember what a genuine message from them looks like.

Looks like a scam. URL should be more like eadmissions.healthscope... or link to the specific hospital. Simple - never click links in texts. Always go to the real website for the entity.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

I have heard of Healthscope before, so that do exist.
Edit: from my first look at their website, the real Healthscope does have an http(s) address.
But more, so, who is the real website under that/the link, probably if you hover over it on a laptop, if it was received by email, you can see who the real sender is.
If its on a smartphone, its harder, as you have to dare to go deep in to see who the real sender is.

That 8821996139 is now a daily caller, not that I am going to respond to it.
Thought I had blocked and delete, tried block and delete 3 dots again, and this time, my phone said it would "report it to google as spam", what ever that means!

Good thing they gave their telex number or I wouldn't have known how to contact them!

 

[Forg]

When I didn’t answer the unknown number yesterday, a voicemail was left by a pre-recorded message that actually seemed almost legit, it was a script being read by a woman with an Australian accent and in no way sounded computer generated. It was claiming to be a follow-up on the election by such-and-such research on behalf of the Liberal party, which also seemed legit ‘cos our electorate had a >9% swing against them (went from a solid margin win last time, to too-close-to-call a week after this latest state election).

Except the candidate’s a bloke, being Liberal & in a suit there’s no way he doesn’t go with he/his pronouns, and after reading his name out the message referred to him as “her”.

I erased the message on reflex before it got to the end & before realising I was interested in what the go was … I guess maybe it was legit & the “she” was a mistake, in which case at the very least such-and-such market research needs to be giving the Liberal party a discount next time they’re engaged …

Again… stay away .. she wrote to me first!!!

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

At least the one received by Cruiser_elite now has a SK domain, heh.
She or most likely he got something right.
The wordings are exactly the one received a few weeks ago, also a "28 year old girl from South Korea"...
But now, then, the sender is using imessages via apple, its harder to see if its an Aust mobile phone number that has been spoofed.
Edit: I see s/more likely he, already has a whatsapp Aust number!
