Scams like these

[Hvr]

Someone is using my name to order Apple products and Lufthansa tickets. Or so you believe going by my emails.

Plus every major bank in the world has had problems and requires me to log in using their link to reset my password.

The sad part is that people who do respond are allowed to walk among us.

One for today:



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

I had one with exactly the same wording, but ph number and address were in Canberra.

Have already deleted but from memory it was for something media company.

i did try the number however to give them a serve but surprisingly was disconnected!

LinkedIn has sent me an email to reset my password. I didn't request it. The email looks genuine.

Probably is real JohnK if there is an explanation that the site was hacked a few years ago. Never follow a link of-course but go to the site after typing in the address yourself.

I didn't even hear about the funeral!

I don't know how they could expect people to believe this one but apparently Simon Peres remembered me in his will.
Now I know where my nose comes from!

Look at the gramnar abd syntax.
The correct way to write is> the Courier (has) not or the courier (has) not been able to deliver.
Not (have) as its written.
