I have just looked at this email. Sent to an email box not linked to QF.
Pretty good if you are not looking at the content.
A QF 103rd birthday gift of a AUD 99.5 coupon, just for me.. a "Customer". Just confirm all your details & we will do the rest.
Not sure how an old credit card promo is a free gift.
They couldn't even bother to put in the correct dates in the small print.

Something different exposed by the click through address. Being able to see that by holding the cursor over the link is invaluable.

Good to see technology companies are excellent at on-line security. I got this e-mail this morning. Part of it says :-

Hello

My name is Mrs. Rachel Watson. I am 75 years of age from the USA. I am a good merchant; I have several industrial companies and good shares in various banks in the world.

I spend all my life on investment and corporate business. Along the way I lost my husband and two beautiful kids in a fatal accident that occurred in November 2015. Ever since I lost my family, it's been difficult to sleep or get enough rest. Later in the year 2019 February I was sent a diagnosis letter after a medical checkup, confirming from my personal doctor that I have lung cancer, which can easily end my life as soon as possible.

I want to establish people who need money to invest in their various businesses or companies and help orphanages, less privileges. That is why I am releasing the sum of $8 MILLION US DOLLARS TO set up this Charity Investment Project Assignment.

IF YOU NEED FINANCIAL HELP, CONTACT me, I am READY TO HELP YOUR BUSINESS.

Email ME: xx_xx_x@gmail.com

Best Remain Blessed,
Mrs. Rachel Watson

Don't ask me why but I've been purchasing horse betting systems in the past 12 months in the hope of making some money. Silly right? Most are scams but this one here is a total scam and I'm not getting any support.

The guy offers a 14 Day tipping service with guaranteed profits for GBP40. If you don't make a profit you get your money back. Or so it says. For double the money GBP82.50 he offers a 6 program multi-pass.

On day 3 I had not received any tips. So he starts sending me tips until day 14. Never got out of first gear and that was a loss. A few days later starts the new program and again never got out of first gear and another loss recorded.

That was 28 April. No further emails from him on the next program which should have started 2 days later. Conveniently the last day for requesting a refund from Clickbank is 29 April. (By the way this scammer continues to send emails advertising other betting services)

So I've sent him an email a few days ago and I also sent Clickbank an email. No reply from either.

I can chalk this down to experience or I can pursue chargeback with Latitude as the service is nowhere near as described. I shall give them another day or two and the start charge back.

By the way I think I'm getting the hang of this and I've been keeping statistics for 9 months. There are some very profitable services and you can actually make money with some discipline.

More Telstra rather than Linkt lately

A good answer when they call from Telstra

How amazing you had exactly the same number of points expiring as I did. Funny that I had transferred most of my points 2 days earlier and the next day turned on the auto transfer.

 

[jastel]

Got a few Telstra ones lately, I was out today and walked past a Telstra shop so went in on the spur of the moment as there was no line, and asked about it.

She said there were a lot of these going around.
She said points DO EXPIRE after 3 years and you would be advised well in advance by email.
I asked if after 3 years I am still on the same plan spending say $100 per month and getting 100 points (or whatever) and my points from 3 years prior expire Telstra would be writing me emails every month and my points balance would never grow to be useful as 100 would be deducted and 100 would be added. She denied that is the case???
No point taking that further so I left.

BEWARE
Received this SMS this morning. It did get a rise in blood pressure.

Coles group: Your coles points expired soon, you can use it for shopping at http://coles-rewardscenters.ınfo/zjzemQ

Just when I was thinking Coles had pushed me into a corner to force turning on auto-transfer I received another SMS

Coles: Your points are about to expire. We encourage you to take action today. Click this link to view https://coles.aupoints.ƈlick/3Ie5t

And then another;

Coles: Your points are about to expire. We encourage you to take action today. Click this link to view https://coles.aupoints.ƈlick/3Ie5t

Be careful you do not get caught!
