I am apparently a very naughty person. Making a fraudulent payment on an Optus account that doesn't exist. Tsk Tsk Tsk

Most of the links now so obviously fraudulent. Hopefully people getting smarter.

I just got a message from Latitude to ask if I had made a purchase on Onlyfans ( definitely not!)

So then they rang me from the fraud squad. I then rang them back, you have to be so cautious to who you are speaking to and giving information to. I rarely use this card whilst in Australia, but did so a day ago to purchase something online on a site I had not used before.
I didn't want to use my main card for the risk. So glad I didn't.

So now they have to send a dispute. Card is blocked and cancelled and a new one will be sent.

Oh and I've never subscribed to Netflix. Coming from a UK hotmail address didn't assuage my concerns,

^ Oh @VPS that one's actually legit, I organised, it, the $267 is a 10-year subscription to a transport service which covers the entire cost during that 10 years.

You're now on the highest level of service on any flight you take on any airline for the next 10 years (apologies for when there's no F available - but what can you do?) and all ground transport will be in on-demand luxury hire cars (guaranteed to arrive at whatever your pickup-point is within 7 minutes of the booking - regardless of where you are - I think they helicopter Bentley 4WD's into situations such as an Amazon expedition but I've not really looked into HOW they provide that service in all cases - there may be limitations eg. if you're on Mars).

I am now getting email spam from that store Temu (how current). Would not touch that stuff if it was last retail experience on earth

Watch for the fake ING sms.
It's www*resecure-ing*com.
And the worst part is that it's spoofed sender as ING, as in ING bank.
It's the classic 6 digit 2fa.
I am an ING customer and did not request the code either.

If my maths is correct (and there is no guarantee they are) if I have to pick up $10k a day and I'm getting $19,8M it would take me over 5 years to collect all my money - although I suppose once I had a few million I could pay people to do it for me
