Scams like these

[p--and--t]

The HiYa app seems to half work for me on the iPhone which I am quite pleased about.

Potential Scam calls are not being notified/ringing on the phone and only appear in the missed call list after the call has gone.

However they haven't got to SMS "tail" fixed yet. I still get an SMS from the Telco saying I have a missed call with no message.

When I check the number it comes up as reported by dozens of others before me as a scammer. From looking at the past reports the numbers have variously been Amazon or IRS or "rebate" or similar scams which I no longer get


BTW: I'm starting to feel left out - been at least three days since I got an AUSPOST or LINKT scam text

Not ever having used a Toll Road in Australia what do the 'Real' toll e-mails look like?

I don't even have a car, yet the unpaid tolls continue to roll in...!

Well, how did they get your email to start? Just login to the toll company directly.

No toll roads in WA so I don't need to contact a Toll company.. I was just wondering what the real version looked like. So many people seem to be getting scam ones on here.

They mass spam it out.
If its listed as from a 04, its most likely a spam sim box, that the cops havent found yet, or will most likely not find.
From 04, its unlikely its in email format.

Linkt email you to go to your account and check your statement and balance…. No link to Linkt in the email… we also communicate via our e-tag which makes various beep types that signify low balance (below what you set up when you buy an etag), no credit and double beep (all OK)

I just read that back and sound like I am unhinged.

However the low balance beep usually prompts me to do adhoc top ups

Touch wood, no "fake AFP" ones of late.

Hopefully we might see a few less fake SMS - well for now after police sting shutdowns a PHaaS organisation!

Calls?

The article was about an elaborate setup offering a service to SMS scammers including making fake websites etc.

Here’s one I’ve not seen before … trying to get rid of a bed & matching tables we don’t need, so place ad on Gumtree.
Bots send me a message asking about condition of the bed … first one I responded with actual info, it then responded with something about getting a $100 bed sent to Tumut via Pack & Send which seemed strange (as I didn’t know it was a bot yet) … then a totally different username sent me a question about item condition with the exact same characters in all 4 sentences, and when I responded that I was ignoring ‘cos it was a bot it gave me the same response about sending via Pack & Send to Tumut.

I guess it’s going to eventually ask me for some amount of money to pay for something-or-other in this whole thing … but given the irrelevance of the canned response to my answers, surely it can’t get many takers!
