An interesting one - someone has gone to a bit of an effort to make it look like a Qantas email

Biggest clue is Qantas giving away cash (equivalent)!
They'll throw points around left, right and centre...

Plus, no FF number that is part of this header.

I actually did realise it was a scam and they did have a person’s email address in there so I’m not sure if that person is real or not

Did QFF start with only 5 digits, 59582 (!!!), as in attach 1.
@(*)garthowen.(*)com indeed a QF address, ...
0 SC, 0 QFF points, so "sad"...!

Message Ref:UIP41990

I have also had a couple of SMS's claiming to be from Linkt (yeah right) threatening all sorts of drastic legal action if I don't pay some undefined fees with a 'handy' link. As I live in W.A my incurring toll fees seem somewhat unlikely.

 

[drron]

I had one from the ATO telling me about a refund. Coming from a bunch of letters and numbers atcis.com seemed unlikely. plus the usual ones about me winning a new phone and various other prizes.
