AGL could really distinguish legit bills/invoices by including a code in the header of the email only the real customer would know.
But they (real AGL) don't even include my (real) name on legit invoices.
(Dear Mr Poochie, here is your AGL electricity/gas invoice) would be a good one.
Instead of the (legit) <AGL electricity/gas invoice> as what they send now.

Here's a question. Is it spam? Or should I posting on the WW$ thread?

I just got an email from ebay... Legit correspondence as far as I can tell.

It's offering on-line Woolworths vouchers. $240 for $200 or $180 for $150...

I prefer to think it is SPAM

Happy wandering

Some how I don't think I'm eligible for WW online home delivery... :shock: And if I go in to the store I might as well WANDER and see what specials they have. Faster than reading the weekly advert.

New scam by criminals using job websites to attract people to launder money for them.

International money launderers are using an Australian Government employment website to lure unsuspecting job-seekers into becoming money mules.
[h=2]Key points[/h]
  • Money launderer posted fake ad on the government-run JobActive site
  • While waiting for her "job" to start, Poonam Kala was asked to transfer $15,000 to a woman in Poland
  • Bank warned the money was stolen
  • Ms Kala reported the scam but is yet to be contacted six months later





The criminals offer fake jobs on the website JobActive, and trick users into handing over their personal bank account details.
JobActive is a job search portal run by the Department of Employment, and has about 275,000 registered users.

A regular spam (new address every time) but I haven't shared here before I don't think, as it normally is sent straight to my Junk folder.

PRP Wealth Advisor Garry Pinnington,

WILL YOU MARRY ME?





At 40 years old I remain single, devoting my best efforts to take off the action plan <Wiley: The Monfort Plan: The New Architecture of Capitalism - Jaime Pozuelo-Monfort> to redefine capitalism and eradicate extreme poverty drafted in 2010. It is a lifetime adventure, a lifetime commitment, the Journey of Our Lifetime that requires lifetime companions who will also become travel partners.



Since 2008 I have been looking for travel companions, for lifetime partners willing to join me in this Wonderful Journey towards the best future ever imagined. I have contacted Experts in every corner of the World. I have conducted thousands of interviews in order to identify the best talent. In this long and sometimes tough journey I have happened to encounter PRP Wealth Advisor Garry Pinnington from Australia, whom we think that you know.



Will you marry me, PRP Wealth Advisor Garry Pinnington? Will you join us in this lifetime adventure? Will you help us discover an unimaginable, unforgettable World which today only exists in our imagination, a World without extreme poverty? Will you discover with us the limits of the possible to move beyond them towards the impossible? Will you share with us the passion, the suspense, the ecstasy, the plethora of our discovery? Will you become an explorer, a pioneer, an adventurer?



Marry me, PRP Wealth Advisor Garry Pinnington. Become part of our family of Expert Dreamers. Join The Australia Presidential Team and help us design, create, imagine a Wonderful future for Australia, for the World.



Yes I am positive. I want to contribute my best efforts, to devote my lifetime to this wonderful challenge. And I want you, PRP Wealth Advisor Garry Pinnington, I want you to come with me, to come with us.



Be not afraid Dreamers of the World. Have no fear, PRP Wealth Advisor Garry Pinnington. A United World is now closer than we ever thought possible. A global family of Humans united in the quest of a better society, fighting for the same challenges once and for all, embracing diversity, accepting that we are different and that difference can be wonderful. Be not afraid Dreamers of the World and join us in this Wonderful Journey.

Why does (QCC load bonus offer/s) go to my Yahoo Spambox?
I haven't yet hovered over sender to see bona fide of it.
All my successful loadings do go inbox though.
(QCC Load Bonus) for the 4 days, the email says.
Only takes so few secs to check but these few secs add up.
Bah Humbug, if I contact QCC and ask, I probably I have to speak to an overseas based person.

The promotions are probably sent from an email marketing company server (eg Mailchimp, Mailgun or similar) and the transaction confirmations from Qantas themselves.
Yahoo mail would see them as completely independent. Mark some as not spam and if it's like Gmail it'll learn.

When you receive emails from MyPost Digital Mailbox, do they address them to your name? I find it irritating that I get these and I am supposedly to open an attachment and it is not even addressed to me personally.

I don't think I have opened any of them to date.
 
Just go direct to the Mypost site and login. A little caution will keep you out of trouble. And yes, I find it annoying too. The "messages" are always about nothing of interest.
 
Got a new one today, been advertising a couple of unused travel sim cards online and I got an email from someone offering to pay double the amount if I register it?! Yes, off course I will register it in my name and with my credit card so that you can ring around the world (*id*ot*)
