Got my monthly ATO refund scam today. But I am very disappointed - they aren't even really trying anymore. The letterhead & reference details are distorted and the whole e-mail has a squashed look. It is the "fakest" scam e-mail I have ever seen. Don't they have any pride in their work?

I am thinking the best scam message from the ATO would be a thank you message from them.

Just had an Apple phishing email - iPhone had it in inbox but laptop had already moved it to Trash based on the sender's address.
There was a link to click on to identify myself...I think not.

from you, hence i am constrain to reach you through the Internet which has
been abused over the years.I wish to notify you again that your name was
mentioned as heir to the sum of 1,600, 000.00 sterling pounds. In the last
testament of our deceased client name now withed.I and my team of the Heir

Alina is getting persistent - albeit with an unsized html file attached
Earlier one sent to the Aussie spam site.. Since she claims to "live" here

Happy wandering

Hi, I want to find new friends in Australia, because I live here (in Sydney) not so long and haven`t got friends here and therefore I`m single.
If you want to be in contact with me, answer me))). Some information about me: I am Russian, but now live and work in Australia.
I am 28y/o, black hair andbrown eyes. I like travelling, nature and sport. I don`t like lies, betrayal and loneliness.
I`m ready to communicate with people who want be real friends, real men. Not with people who are looking only for one time meeting or sex.
If you are looking for a life partner too, answer me, i hope we can enjoy our communication.
With best regards, Alina.

Had a landline call from someone claiming to be from Telstra , re my bigpond acc .
Says there have lots of attempts from a few Asian locations to use my acc & he was now going to help me with these unauthorised attempts.
Told him I didn't believe him.
He got angry with me for not believing him & said a block would be placed on my acc & I won't be able to use it for 9 months & then hung up on me.
WTF.

Had my iTunes account try to be accessed by someone in Zhejiang, China - I
must have set a new record for time taken to change the password...

 

[There'sOnlyOneJimmy]

Had my iTunes account try to be accessed by someone in Zhejiang, China - I
must have set a new record for time taken to change the password...

My gut reaction to this [on the basis of complete ignorance of the technologies involved...] was 'I hope the bloke in China hasn't already got a Trojan (or similar) in Y Oh Y's computer... That way they might spook him/her into changing a bunch of passwords and just sit back and collect all the new ones as they're made'.

I don't know if this is possible or practical, but it was a scary thought...
Hope your stuff's safe...

Someone with a better opinion of my fluency in German than I have. (Telling me that I have had a bonus payment credited to my account.) The compulsory weekly FedEx scam one was less interesting :-

No, it was which restaurant we had lunch at our last meeting.

Annie and Dora are both waiting to meet me for a date and good times. Apart from their ages (younger than my children), last time I thought about life I didn't think I was into same sex relationships. :mrgreen::shock:
