Jeez I’m getting very fed up with the fake MyGov messages. I’m getting 5-10 a day to various email addresses now. So dump that they think 100 MyGov messages will finally get you to click the link. So dumb.

I reckon I haven't had one in a month, nor AustPost etc. Every time I received text I forward straight to ACMA and then delete & block. Never had them in email form.

friend of mine rang this week - she clicked on one and got a text immediately to say her 24 tax return had been submitted. They had already changed her bank details by the time she got onto ATO - new medicare number etc etc so people are out there clicking on those links

I trust this message finds you in good spirits, encircled by those you hold dear and the prospect of fresh starts. I am Jeff Rothschild, and I write to you today filled with anticipation and a fresh perspective on philanthropy.

You can find more about me at this link: xx_xx_xx_xx_

Throughout the years, I've had the honor of backing numerous charities and causes that resonate with me. While I take pride in the difference we've made collectively, I've come to understand that philanthropy extends beyond merely donating money.

Not long ago, I had a compelling dream that rekindled my sense of purpose. In this dream, I saw the faces of ordinary individuals, each with their unique aspirations, dreams, and obstacles. At that instant, I felt a strong desire to approach philanthropy in a more personal and meaningful manner.

Hence, I'm reaching out to you today—not as a remote patron, but as a companion on this voyage of life. I wish to extend an invitation to you to be part of something truly extraordinary, something that transcends conventional philanthropy and fosters a deeper, more personal connection.

Consider this message as your passport to a more promising future. You have been chosen to receive a substantial donation from me as a token of my gratitude for your existence in this world. However, this gift is more than a physical contribution; it's an invitation to join me in a mutual mission of compassion, empathy, and human connection.

Together, we can significantly impact the lives of others. Whether it's lending an ear to a friend in need, assisting a neighbor in distress, or merely sharing a smile with a stranger, every act of kindness has the potential to generate waves of love and positivity.

I ask you to accept this gift with an open heart, knowing it comes with no strings attached. It's a token of friendship, a testament to our shared humanity, and a spark for the remarkable things we can accomplish when we unite with purpose and passion.

To move forward, please provide your full name and address, and I will guide you on how to receive this donation.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. May our mutual vision of a more compassionate world motivate us to take courageous steps and spread love wherever we tread.

With warm regards,
Jeff Rothschild
