Scams like these

[CMA222]

that is the exact same email I received where I knew the sender, and that their email account was indeed hacked.
I hope your sender knows they have been hacked.

Essentially the same message I received from a friend's email after their email had been hacked. If you reply the scammer says something like. "Thanks for getting back to me - are you able to buy some gift cards for me as I have to pay some bills and cannot go out." My friend had no idea they had been hacked until several people in their contact list, who received the "please contact" email, contacted one another and then called the friend. Telstra immediately shut down their email account and reset it.

I often wonder what level of IQ people possess to even remotely believe someone they don’t know is going to give them millions of dollars for no reason and follow through with a response.

 Not a scam, email and text from Telstra today "Your account has been compromised, click on this link"

Regards, myGov Australian.
Do not reply to this email.

The strange thing about the email was that the click here was underlined as a link but no reference could be determined even with copy and paste..... and the sender was from auclaimverifiedcenters.....

Almost enough to give up wandering

Sad thing is 42 people accepted a friend request rather than report a dodgy as f… profile.

One of his bots gone rogue?

Probably the African version of Elon tho.
Most likley his photo has been cut and pasted.
Got to wonder, why would the real Elon send someone a run of the mill friend request.
Must be the Africans again.
