We are all used to receiving emails from Scammers, in particular someone who want to give you $10 million !!! When I have some spare time and I'm in the mood, I like to have fun with these guys. I have a library of replies but I have found another response. I just hit Reply then insert the Logo below. No words are added, just the Logo. Never hear from them again !!!
By replying to scam emails you may be opening your computer gateway to the potential scammer, strongly suggest you just delete without replying..

I never open attachments which is usually the source of Trojans. Any email that looks suspicious, I do delete.

I agree. Count me in that category. I do have reasonable computer knowledge and know the risks to look for.

I learned a new (to me) one yesterday; spoofing (not as in the Australian tense)
A member of the group I was in received a call that purportedly was being sent from the phone they were receiving it on. That's right, the number of the caller came up on the phone of the person who owned that number!
And the phone was actually ringing!
A quick flick on Mr google shows it's a scam called "spoofing"
Mr google says spoofing is bad & not to answer any such calls.
He also says that Apple phones are not as vulnerable to spoofing as Android phones.
What's next lol!

I am beginning to think this s,,t is sponsored by Telstra & Optus etc, they want us to abandon landlines, hence doing nothing about any scammers.
