Scams like these

[TheRealTMA]

Reminds me to add "Comptroller of Finance" to my banned words to my Huawei phone, that is the only good of it, that it can ban words, where as Samsung only bans phone numbers, millions.
Guess the Aust police forces still have a long way to stop those sim boxes.

Telecos could resolve the issue but just don’t care since it makes them money.

Erm - that's the point of posting here.

Obviously fake.

Also no AU department has a tale of ".services"

You are stating the obvious again. People are not posting on here because they’re looking for information. They know it’s a scam.

I got an interesting one yesterday with a code for verifying mygov.ie and I just deleted it then I looked at the email address and it looked likes it may be a real email address. I have an Irish surname so I wonder if some has got their email address incorrect.

[email protected]​

I was receiving emails for ages for someone in Long Island and I knew how much they were spending on their kitchen renovation and how much all their appliances were costing and they booked in for a cookery class in Paris.

Well just goes to show you can learn something new everyday. I never knew Ireland had it's own mygov site and I didn't know VPS was an Irish name!

They could have been a bit more creative with the name. Albrechts is the “Al” in ALDI!

"Hello,

I apologize for the sudden email. Let me start by saying that this
is an unusual approach for me. My name is Sonia, and my friend
gave me your email, saying that we should be in the same city.
Today, my soul is filled with many mysteries and a desire to meet
a man who will unravel them. It's an unexpected decision, but I
want to take the chance. I hope to make a pleasant surprise. Let's
get to the point:

I am a married woman and I want to spice up my sexual life a
little. Why am I ready for such actions? I have a husband and we
have no sex. And now he's far away, and his absence only
intensifies my desires. By the way, I don't know your name, how
should I address you? I want to apologize immediately for such
an unexpected proposal, and I won't talk about myself right now -
I'll just send these two photos. I hope now you understand the
seriousness of my intentions and that this is not a joke. Words are
very important to me, so I want you to take the initiative into your
own hands. Are you ready to arrange a meeting right now? My
contact is here: DreamDancer While you get ready, write to me about
what kind of lingerie to meet you in or without it at all. I'm getting
excited at the thought that your cough is hard right now and I want
to lick it. I only use this email in emergency cases, so there's no
need to write back here. I hope you understand me correctly, I
only need one meeting. On Friday, I'm leaving for Turkey on Monday
and we'll never see each other again. Go through a quick registration and
find me on the site. Again, I ask you very much, do not use this
email for a reply, do not let me down. Yes, and I would like to note
that I'm not one of those who are looking for profit - I will pay for
all expenses. I hope I managed to intrigue you and now I will
eagerly await your reply.

Sonia Jeff"

Cyber Wiretap and Funds Recovery Department,
Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI
J. Edgar Hoover Building New Washington, D.C
935 Pennsylvania Avenue,
205350001 USA.

ATTN: Beneficiary.

According to the ethics of an office, introduction is always very important on a first contact like this. I am Mr. Christopher Asher Wray, Director Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This Official Memorandum is to inform you that we discovered that some officials who work under the United States government have attempted to divert your Funds (US$10,500,000:00) through a back-door channel. We actually discovered this today, through our Secret Agents under the Disciplinary Unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after we apprehended (Mr. Ali Aeraby) a terrorist suspect.

The mentioned suspect was apprehended at the Honolulu International Airport early this morning, as he attempted to carry the enormous cash value of US$10,500,000:00 outside the shores of the USA. In respect to the money laundering decree of the United States, such amounts of money cannot be moved in cash outside the United States because such an attempt is a criminal offense and is punishable under the money laundering act of 1982 of the United States of America. This decree is a globalized law applicable in most developed countries in order to check-mate terrorism and money laundering.

From our gathered information here in this Unit, we discovered that the said Fund in question actually belongs to you, but it had been purposely delayed because the officials in charge of your Payment are into some sort of irregularities which is totally against the ethics of any Payment institution. Presently, this said Funds valued US$10,500,000:00 are under the custody of the Paying Bank (Bank of Hawaii Corporation) and I can assure you that your Funds will be released to you without a hitch provided that you are sincere to us in this matter. Also, we require your positive co-operation at every level because we are closely monitoring this very transaction in order to avert the bad eggs in our society of today.

Today, we have instructed the Executive management of (Bank of Hawaii Corporation) to Release the said Funds to you as the certified Beneficiary in question, because we have valuable information/records to authenticity that the said Funds truly belongs to you. Be that as it may, you are required to provide us with below listed information (for official verification).

1. First Name, Middle Name and Last Name.
2. Age.
3. Occupation.
4. Marital Status.
5. Direct Telephone/Fax Number.
6. Residential address.

We await your immediate compliance to this official obligation, so that you can be paid by the Bank of Hawaii Corporation.

Officially Sealed.

Mr. Christopher Asher Wray.
