Scams like these

[AustraliaPoochie]

Heh, head of police, how many of those emails have we had, we have had, that we are required to do something, because Interpol is aftr us.
Officially, Interpol says they don't do things like this, and they send data about red notices, to the state police or national police, of the resident country of the suspect.
Then we get the fake AFP emails, that we are suspect and have to call that "special number".
Can never win, and the Anti Scam centre was supposed to get things done, anti scam, hah.

 

[Forg]

And this is why there needs to be an effort for Australian numbers cannot be spoofed.
So if a spammer could spoof something like a head of police your prime minister

Dear Head Of Police,

As the Revered Prime Minister Esquire, I require 1 million dollars placed in my account.
Please do the needful and revert.

Yours in grace,
Albo.

If you get a phone call, then you can do it, as they have called you, the scammer/s I mean.
Don't initiate contact, as once you contact them, you will be bambazooled.
Even if you have started a throw away once use/one use email as "thehonorprimeministerofoz1@***mail", who knows, they might lock your computer.
There are of course 4 types, the Africans, the Indians the NiHao Chinese girl, and the Russians.

^ All my Mandarin scam calls have been computer-generated voices, so I’m not convinced China actually exists.

 

[SOPOOR]

By the number of recorded chinese scam calls ive had, im almost a phd in chinese

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

My Mandarin is only like NiHao level, but I know people who are not native speakers, who can speak and understand it.
Maybe the next time someone on here gets one, let it go to message bank, or tape it and see what it is.
Lost package from China (they love to mention DHL in English), the Chinese security apparachic is after us, or that we are contact the Chinese embassy asap.

Same, but I am better in Cantonese.

 

[Forg]

I’ve got no hope with Cantonese either … except maybe Hurstville Cantonese, but that’s only because every 2nd word is English.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Same, but I am better in Cantonese.

The next time you get a call from some speaking Mandarin, and its not a recorded, but I guess it would be, for the first mug few secs, but maybe speaking another dialect could put them onto another train of thought.

There is that American though, and his Cantonese and Mandarin are quite passabe.
I would say, its not impossible, but if someone puts in the effort, they could probably learn it.

[My Gov] we received a refund of $1550 but cannot process it because your account has not been updated. Click to update:https:raiselinl.s***ite
and then some extension.

For Forg, try and find the originating email link in "read originating message"/raw message, and block that sender, then delete that.
But you need to be savvy to understand how to read raw messages.
In yahoo, its a string of many lines.
Ignore the piggy back sender, from sender, from sender.
If you are not a Telstra customer, then you can block words, in yahoo setting.
Probably can block in gmail and other email too.
If you don't get any invoices, you can block that word too, but then, it might block real invoices/bills.
Sometimes emails are already sent to "spam" folder.
www.teL*stra.com sometimes they might use the capital L

[Forg]

I was being facetious … … I‘m fully aware it’s not possible due to the messages being sent by different scam organisations & by different email servers in different locations.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

You have to start somewhere, in blocking scam/spam.
In yahoo, you can block rolex, and over time, start blocking everything scammers use, in their description of the contents, or in the sender, ie, if you don't know any doctors, you can block that word, and then block the rev, and then block the hon, and then block court, and then block magistrate, and then block judge, not forgetting hon barrister...
Block darling too.
Xannax, sannax, *annax, etc, etc, etc block these too.
True, I am not fibbing, if you can find the first original sender in raw messages, the job is half done, in that one case.
Do this a hundred thousand times, and you succeed in blocking 25% of scam/spam.
Same like sms, block 0400 000 001 to 0499 999 999, grin, and you only get "unknown/private number" left.

Ask for a selfie with him holding up a unique word

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Trouble is, then the medium that you have used to send the request, will be bombarded with scam/spam/virus/malware, or held up for digital extortion.
