I had the impression that spelling, grammar and punctuation had become better with increasing scammer sophistication. Clearly not.

My mother received a letter today from a Albert Solis Head of Internal Audits Lloyds Financial Services Ltd. It states that they have discovered US$14.3 million dollars in an account opened in 1999. Account belongs to a lost relative who passed away in 2007. Blah blah blah ........... it goes on and on. My mother will be required to provide her bank details and 30% of he funds will be transferred. LOL

This was a letter sent with a South African stamp and the letter details shows London UK.

I got the email version, but at least with a real letter you can pass the stamp on to a collector.

At least the scammers spent some money on paper, envelope and a stamp - unless they were all stolen

Had an email from AGL (hovered over sender): [email protected](xx_0)om.au
The domain info.xx_.xx_.au above does not bring up a website.
Thanking me for being an AGL customer, and offering me bonus Flybuy points.
Sceptical, I rang AGL up, via 131245 which is the official legit phone number.
Even they are not 100% sure, and can't really confirm 100% if the email I got was 100% real or not.
If even the legit organisation can't say 100% for real, if an email is from them, what trust have we got?
Look like the scammers have won, and put fear in us, that we can't even trust anymore.
We all know about the fake bills, or fake invoices, or the monthly invoices from AGL, and for some of colleagues on here, who are not even AGL customers, and they get the monthly AGL bill/invoice.
I will delete that email, and forgo the bonus points. If its 1000% legit, different kettle of fish, but in this case, scary.
Not only AGL, but NAB/AFP/AusPost (scams), that now there is no longer anything to trust anymore.
That was my gripe for today.

[AustraliaPoochie]

[AustraliaPoochie]

Am going to wrire a letter to Mark Brownfield.
AGL customers will know
who I mean.
Wonder if he is a real person though.
Re scams and how AGL could improve anti scam wise.
Ie how about putting customer number in header of bona fide AGL emails.

The first (and most obvious error) that I saw in the AGL email was the format of the amount owing. The convention is currency sign before amount in most western countries to which I have been. That rang alarm bells for me...

 

[drron]

I got 2 AGL bills today.But from different email addresses.One of them also sent me an email about my Auspost parcel.very helpful but then I don't have an AGL account.

 

[get me outta here]

Yes I noticed the xx_ $A - not the usual

All I seem to get at present is notification of a Bunnings gift card!
