Scams like these

[Simo]

I live in QLD Buzzard so fire not needed where I am.. I use a cross cut shredder to get rid of private stuff. It has a big bin under it and then it goes into the wheelie bin in bagged so it would take someone many hours to find all the bits and pieces

What are you trying to say? That I'm not good enough for her and she is only after my money?

Dating sites are a bit like Thailand, beware the women that are better looking and eager to get your attention...

The mailman was unable to redeem parcel

Reported to the submit.spam.acma.gov.au as an email said to be from Australia Post. Except it originated in a .de domain and the links were all .ru applying to a "download label" button.

This is above and beyond the couple of dozen I still get daily to one of the compromised email addresses in my domain.

Happy wandering

Fred

I got an email from uzman asking me to download the zip file containing shipment papers.

I don't use online shopping very much but I'm guessing my email has been lifted from one of the companies I've dealt with in this area or possibly just one of the online shops or websites I've signed up to over the past few years.

Which country has the extension tr at the end of their email addresses?

One of my staff got this yesterday and was expecting a parcel..... what a mess he has created :evil:

Does nobody read these things and realise that nobody speaks like this!?

 

[MEL_Traveller]

Email yesterday supposedly from telstra - or at least their debt collection agency. Googled the company name and it was legitimate... but given our last bill had been paid on time, and there was no reminder, we deleted the email. While the name of the debt collection agency was correct, the email address may have been false. There was a link to click to enter our details and bring our account up to date.

A recorded message also kept saying words maby to the wffect of the picture below. Can't remember, as I wasn't paying attention!

 

[whatmeworry]

Keep getting calls from 02 4349 1985 regarding "issues" on my computer. First time told them they a scam, hung up straight away.
Second time told them if called yesterday regarding their scam, they hanged up again.
Third time answered the phone with "Australian Federal Police, what's your enquire?", scammer didn't listen and I repeated "Australian Federal Police, what's your enquire?", there was a pause and click.
Fourth time they just hanged up straight away.
If they ring up for a fifth time, If I have I am going to let them give me the full sell... If I have the time.

Hmm I'd be interested in knowing what the 'rest of the nuances' are. Sounds fascinating!

 

[joyvee]

Not fluent in English, eg leaves out "the" in "the rest of nuances." and " I work on this position for three years," no past tense and should have used "in" not On!
just noticed "principal requirements " rather than principle. and that is quick read and response.
