Heaven help us the day these guys decide to employ a proof reader!

You would think they might have got the idea by now? But no! But to be fair, have seen 1 or 2 very professional works. Out of 1000's.

The word has got around.Have had about 20 requests for my CV over the last few days.
Don't know why kpmg.at would want a 70 year old retired physician.
But the request from ebonypleasures.za had me wondering.I don't think my CV would cover the required competencies.

drron that site looks like a good one for a 70 year old retired physician. Maybe a good idea to get Mrsdrron to look it up just in case?

Interesting issue when I tried to report a spam email (Remittance advice from ...) from a set of three... to report at submit.spam.acma.gov.au

Mail server refused to forward due to virus infected attachment. Which was the reason I wanted to send it...

Happy wandering

Fred

I got a series of 'FedEx' emails not unlike this one over the last few months and ignored them. It wasn't until a letter arrived from a debt collector that I paid attention.

They were really from FedEx :!: :shock:

Even the phone numbers and bank acc numbers sounded dodgy.

Has anyone, anywhere, ever started a legitimate letter or email with the salutation "Greetings of the day"?

Someone I know at Piddo's Armidale put in a good word for you.

Buzzard, your name is actually visible under your cross out - if you wished to effectively cross it out ....

That might not be good.Gave them too much business?

Oops but lucky it's not my name, somebody gave me the printout.
I should have paid more attention to detail

That's something they're not short of. Eventually they get everyone's business

Just had my second phone scam in 2 days. Yesterday was a motor accident several months ago and compensation was due ... blah blah blah. Never been in a accident for a long time. Just moments ago Telstra called apologising about the disruption and would like to refund some money to my credit card. I politely told him where to go.

One for today:

Dear QF WP,

I am checking in to find out if you had the chance to send A$ 1,977.82 for the invoice no.SP/00015086 . We realize that invoices are missed occasionally, so there is no problem if you could just close it today or by the end of the week.

Find your invoice with IPP Consulting enclosed.

Kind Regards,
Gregory.

The fact that the business is actually located in Brisbane, yet their phone appears to be in Sydney (but isn't valid) and that the address is Adelaide doesn't instil me with a lot of confidence in the business, plus the email was from Gregory Clark <[email protected]> seems to indicate a number of flaw in their email. They did get a real address, wonder what made them think of it?

The word doc attachment hasn't been opened, sorry guys

Courier couldn't deliver. Auspost.
And a job scam too.
Must need mugs like me it seems.

Brian shared "Deed of Confidentiality Parramatta POA - Contractor 280916" with you

[FONT=&amp]"Attached is the confidentiality deed for QRS – if you could fill out and return as soon as possible and I’ll tee up a time to catch up on either Wednesday or Thursday

Part of the email said it would expire the 30SEPT2016.

I wait for Brian to contact me another way.

Had similar the morning, but from "8M Media and Communications", with same type of variances - company in WA, office address given as NSW, Phone number in Victoria, email address of author aussiebob2011 at bigpond.com, Word attachment contains no meaningful invoice.

I received this Parramatta email a couple of days ago as well. Hope no-one clicks on the link.

If their English skills (ie grammar etc) improved remarkably it would be scary.

The postman couldnt deliver...
Postman? Isnt it the courier.
