Scams like these

[VPS]

I guess you need to ask yourself, could you be bothered for $10,000 a day?

Probably because I'm not Linda Evangelista

I like to think my contributions to ACMA helped catch this low life scum.
Scum sucking scammer caught
I guess some bleeding heart judge will let him go with a slap on the wrist.

EDIT: And not overseas, but downtown Moorebank in Sydney!

Hopefully that is an end to the Linkt and postal scam texts

Ah! Never seen a sim box before. Interesting!

Heh, its an Asian man, most likely he imported the sim boxes from China, and somehow succeeded in bringing the items into Aust, without ABF being aware.
The items look like they were commercially produced, and as far as I know, Aust does not produce/manufacture such items.
The blurred out photo of the man still shows Asian features.
Seems like its always, either a China Chinese or an India Indian who does these sort of things.

For theRealTMA, we don't know how many of those sim boxes do exist in Aust, maybe there are a lot of them, because even after the arrest, the abvoe 2 replies still showed the fake Aust post sms's.
But as I mentioned, unless the telcos do some serious stuff, scammers still can spoof their sender to be from
"ING", and I am sure "resecureING" is a scam.

That is really interesting to see how this happens
I like the little eftpos machine ready to go like a legit home office. If only his punishment was to rat out all the others involved in this

Presumably the eftpos machine can be used to compile evidence of those who were scammed and they might (in time) get a refund - assuming there are still funds available and they were not immediately sent off shore. It would be interesting to know which bank was supplying the eftpos service and whether their fraud detection system had flagged the customer as suspicious for any reason.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

I think with the Suncorp logo on that EFTPOS machine, its most likely that bank.
Who knows, he might be doing something else legit, to get his hands on the EFTPOS machine, as its not cheap to rent it from the bank.
But as to evidence, yep, that EFTPOS machine will be it.
Esp if they can follow the paper trail, of the printouts, and the mug was "smart" enough to keep them, which he probably does.

My mum got a "linkt" one for $5.83, they are smart enough, to now include the "GST" of $0..53!

I have to be very aware of fake emails


Attention Dear

Note: if you found this email in your junk/spam, its because of your
internet isp server.

I am Ms.Gertie Jenkins, I am a US citizen,58 years Old. My residential
address is 708 Queen Street Wilmington, North Carolina 28401 United
States,I am thinking of moving since I am now wealthy.I am one of those
people that took part in receiving Inheritance funds in East & West Asians
many years ago and they refused to pay me,I had paid different fees while
in the United States trying to get my funds from those banks and lottery
organizers but all to no avail.

So I decided to travel to Wright City, Oklahoma with all my compensation
documents, And I was directed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Director to contact Mr.Richard Larry, who is a representative of the
INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF),a Human Rights Activist and a member of
the Compensation Award Committee,And a Diplomatic Agent, currently in
Wright City, Oklahoma and I contacted him and he explained everything to
me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake, Mr.Richard Larry
personally directed me on how to claim my Inheritance fund.

He directed me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment.
Right now I am the happiest woman on earth because I have received my
compensation funds amounting to $10,500,000.00. Moreover,Mr.Richard Larry
showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their
payments and those whose inheritance had not been paid and the list of all
outstanding contractor that were owed that are yet to receive their
payments and I saw your email as one of the beneficiaries on the list he
showed me, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those
people, they are not with your funds, they are only making money out of
you. I will advise you to contact Mr.Richard Larry. Kindly send your
personal details to him to prove your identification such as Full
name,current home address,current Phone No.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

Compensation Award Office.
Name : Mr.Richard Larry
Phone NU: +1 (202)869 0139
WhatsApp NU:+1 (207) 719 7416

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you
and to telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with
them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until
you have nothing left.The only money I paid after I met Mr.Richard Larry
was for full legal affidavit to support my claim and approval of my
compensation funds release which will enable the transfer of the funds
immediately to your bank account or whichever way you desire to receive
your payment.Take note of that and i will advise you to contact him Asap if
you wish to receive your fund without any further wasting of time.



Thank You and Be Blessed.
Ms.Gertie Jenkins
of 708 Queen Street Wilmington,
North Carolina 28401 USA.

I have received a $100 Qantas Flight Pass as my "experience on a recent flight was impacted".

No details on the flight 'impacted'. No thanks.

 

[latawiec]

I am getting a lot of various spams and some of them are quite tricky... One o them is below.

Please, be aware that the scams are becoming more sophisticated and tricky, so some people might be tricked...


PS: Never, never use provided links or phone numbers, or reply to such emails, SMS, because these might be fake... Also do not answer to unknown phone number or give them any personal info, CC number, or bank account number, or passwords.

Got one telling me to verify my email address from Discord.
I mean, I kinda know what Discord is, but..



Hey! since I didn't click the previous email, I'm now registered!


Ah but somehow afterwards they forgot about me...no sorry, Joesesph...

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

My dad got it, ie icloud is full
Is the $99.99 one legit, or is the $149 one legit, or only the monthly subs is legit?
I think too, somehow the scammers can also block access to icloud mail and also other parts of icloud, don't know how.

It had a reasonable chance of success though with the way QF is going lately.

Yesterday, Telstra bill email arrived.

This morning "another " Telstra bill arrived, looked legit with logos etc.

Comparing both emails side by side, very hard to discern any differences.
Account number was incorrect, then noticed a few other inconsistencies but , if expecting the bill and in a bit of a rush, can see how you could click on the link to pay
Fortunately Mr Flyfrequently always checks sender addresses ( "icloud" was a flag)

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Heh, those people have no scruples.
Using "icloud" to send a "telstra" bill/invoice.
