Scams like these

[p--and--t]

Ive noticed roughly 80-90% of spam messages aka ATO, mygov, nrma, et al, all come a variety of email addresses that are all hosted a singular domain

@weinlove.de

Going to block that domain with my email provider and that should rid me of most spam.

In a recent email, from a domain .sbs, a "warning" (((We have known each other for a long time, and I must report that...))).
I just know that its that I will be held up to ransom, blocked and deleted.
I have no friends, none.

Scamwatch released a number of TV ads (TVCs) this week encouraging viewers to think twice. The campaign is "Stop, Check, Protect", production by the brilliant team at Revolver Film Design. I provided locations (but nothing creative) for "Steve" and "Mei Chen" shorts plus the green-screen studio. I think there are more to come.

Stop. Check. Protect. campaign resources

We’ve created lots of ways to share the Stop. Check. Protect. messaging with your networks and communities. Spread the word on your social media channels, via your newsletters, in the workplace, or create your own content.

Absolute scam

Hello dear

I know you will be surprised reading from me today but consider this a divine intervention. My name is Donna Thayer, widow with stage 4 cancer.

I saw your email in my search for someone I can trust to assist and utilize the proceeds realized from my estates and investments for charity, basically helping the less privileged, widows and orphans because according to the doctors my days are numbered.

I desire to entrust this amount of money in your care and It is my last wish to use this money strictly for charity hence seek a sincere heart to actualize this as my health no longer permits me.

I am willing to give you a substantial part of the funds for your personal and family needs so reply to my email ([email protected]) and give me your word never to betray my trust. I have to rest now and will explain further when I hear from you.

God bless you,

Donna Thayer.

I agree, though the email domains can be inconsistent and are usually well-camouflaged. I report them either to Scam Watch or Outlook reporting.

I'm finding an increasingly large number of legit sites having a pop-up onscreen which looks like a chat session, with WhatsApp in the header of the pop-up. The reason I know they're scam links is because some of them have text like "Do you like my body?" or similar, although others have nondescript stuff like "What what" or "Heya!" or similar.

I'm wondering it that stuff is within one of the ad services, and whether maybe that sort of thing will start appearing on the free version of AFF.

@wandering_fred you seem to be a magnet for scam emails etc. Perhaps you need to check where you’re wandering as you seem to be attracting a lot of undesirables.

Been getting quite a few from "netflix" similar to the above "stan" one, I have been forwarding them to phishing at netflix.
