The news blurb, in the past few days, every pix they do of the scammers, its always the China chinese men who are the scammers, or parttakers of it.
I myself am one, Asian ***** (insert pooch), that is, and no way would I get involved in this.
From the way all those scam emails or sms are written, its always someone from an NESB, can tell by the grammar, if not from China, its the subcontinent, if not them, its the "da/nyet" from the far North

Re: Forg reply, ah, yes, the Gumtree/fb marketplace and ilk scammy "buyers" if they ever go through the buy without scamming people.
Cash on pickup!
Lucky as yet, you havent had the "Oh, I am working overseas, but I do have my nephew/niece who is living in "Tumut, NSW" who would be happy to buy it for me, on my behalf", lah, lah, lah...
Or maybe they now have your details, and you are now the mug/stoolpigeon.

Re: Martine reply, yep, I do wonder about that as well.
Also, 03 or even the regional areas of South Aus, ...
Maybe they are spoofing as others have said many times, spoofing their calling numbers.
I am sure it can be made harder to do, if the telcos and the Aus fed govt and others made it easier for systems to be put in place, to stop spoof capability.
