Hmmm, which AFFer would be buying an iPhone 13 and paying $1001 for it?? Could be a bit fishy you think 🤔

At least this one could not figure out my name for a greeting.....And the address on the "keep the same password" was ~$#~@#%. Though resetting my account password (on my domain server) would be a real hassle while wandering
Fred

Dear : fred@xx_xx_xx_
The password for your email account is expiring soon.
You can proceed with the below to keep using same password.
 
1).Had a chinese girl, voice recording again, 029 NSW based phone number, could be spoofed. Blocked and deleted.
2).From 04843*****, [My Gov]: We are deeply sorry! A refund of $2540 has been issued to you. Verify your ID to receive it. //govsmth.xyz
 
I got that deep throaty AI type voice the other day saying $x was being charged to my account for a new iPhone unless I pressed 1.

Then came the one from a real person (offshore) saying she was from Telstra - she got the "no you're not you are just a criminal scammer" response - hard to say that to an artificial voice.
