Scams like these

[AustraliaPoochie]

A Tony from an Aust phone number which I didnt reply to at 1.48am thus morning sms'ed that he had a risk free investment for me.
Hah... As if.
So its important not to be tok keen to answer calls ir sms tobes.
Some people have no scruples anymire.
It was an investment group.
Wonder what next.
Maybe a "hit" sms.

[AustraliaPoochie]

Pity Yahoo wont let me put combo of AGL Electricity as a banned set of words.
Real AGL is AGL "(Energy)".
OR if AGL really wanted, could change bill name.

Was just with an aunt and she opened the AGL scam email . Can't wait to hear what her IT consultant did to fix her system. Think it told her they would post nudie photos until she paid

India grammar and syntax.
I would have written it as (helping us understand our customers better)...

For QF WP, please let us know of the or any outcomes re Aunt opening that AGL email.

Received this one today. Just home after a big days motorbike ride and feeling a little weary I could have fallen for it. I had used a fresh Velocity card at a BP outlet to activate some points they were offering and so this was the first thing I thought of...then I snapped back to reality.
