Scams like these

[TheRealTMA]

another delivery scam ... but somewhat confused which language / country
Interesting the links for following up the package and the "unsubscribe" (why would this be an option for a legitimate delivery service ?) are the same.

Normal scam. Never unsubscribe from scams. Just confirms your identity.

Unsubscribing does nothing good, running the risk of installing malware or putting you into the next step of the scam … however, unfortunately, if they’ve sent you an email which didn’t bounce that’s enough of a confirmation - they know it’s a real address. It’s a case of more damned if you do, but still damned if you don’t.

Many email systems no longer bounce undeliverable mail in order to work against the assumptions of the early/mid-years of spam, so confirmation by lack-of-bounce is no longer a given, but might apply to large domains that still bounce (Gmail?).

No worries, I never try unsubscribe, although I was tempted on ones like below.
Does anyone else get these US Republican begging emails? I have been receiving in various forms for years. Clearly they got my address same way as other scammers.

I seem to be on some calling list. Got a couple of calls from "Telstra" last week regarding my compromised IP address. I'm with Optus but it is kinda fun keeping them on hold and on the call long enough to see how long before they hang up.

Are these TW packages delivered (well ment to be) by freight companies rather than post office?

I do not know. Aliexpress delivery for me is 95% good for me. but if it does not turn up in 10 days, lookout. they tend to combine purchases in one package, with an auspost bag around may grey bags. but when i check tracking - the ...tw ones are well - problems. Nothing to do with DHL.

An activation code is supplied for use by "Equifax Assure"

With a link that would be the funniest Equifax site URL I have ever seen
But it theoretically be legit. Even if I never rent with Hertz

Even admitting that I enjoy wandering (but not here?)
Fred

Thank you. Mr Blackduck uses Ali a lot! So far all good. It seems to all come by aust post - we are rural. Can't recall there have been TW ones though so will watch out.

If the parcels don't arrive in the set time they give us a credit of maybe a dollar. Being rural we don't go in town every day so sometimes they will sit at the post office. Then we find we get credit for late delivery!

Email received this morning, but I don’t have an Australian Super account.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Watch of the my gov one, if you hover over it, you will its sent from a wix.com account.
But they have masked it to read as from "mygov".
Very cunning now, they have copied "you have a new message in your mygov account", which I dont think they have used these terms in the past, as exact as the real thing.
And of course, "its dear user, ..
And the "mygov" is a hollow one, ie, within the writing of mygov, its not all black, so they have successfully change the numericals to alphabet.
Sorry, not as flash as I thought I was.
(((Dear User Dear User You have received a new message in your ATO online service inbox, ...)))
The real mygov is darker, inside the alphabet.
Just checked my mygov account, no new message.
So they (scammers) this time, want us to click on the fake mygov in email.

Hello Dear,

Permit me to inform you on my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your name and contact from the Ivorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and trustworthy person I can do business with, and by their recommendations, I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.

I am Nina Johnson, the only daughter of Late Mr. and Mrs. Nado Johnson. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business deal. my father took me so special because I was motherless. I lost my mother when i was only two years



Before the death of my father in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has a sum of US$ 8,900,000.00 left in a suspense account in a local bank here in Abidjan. That he used my name as his only daughter for the next of kin in deposit of this fund. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his associates, that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as Real Estate Management.



I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways,

1) To provide a bank account where this money would be transferred.

2) To serve as the guardian of this fund.

3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure a residential permit for me in your country.



Moreover, I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation for your effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your account.

Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within seven (7) days you signify interest to assist me.

Anticipating hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Nina Johnson
