New Scam.


Got an e-mail today from the

Public Informer LLC.

49 Ridge Road,

Captains Creek Qld 4677.

Somehow, I have managed to accrue the grand sum of $1375.  However, they need my bank details, to pay me.    They have already tried to reach me 4 times, and if I don't reply this time, I will miss out.

 

biggrinbiggrinbiggrin   Don't you feel sorry for me ?

 

Cheers,

Sheba.

The problem is these scammers are often highly organised groups. They are thieves, and they do great harm. Their victims are often elderly, unsophisticated and vulnerable. The only response is to spread the word to those people you think could possibly be impacted. I am pretty sure it does not seem funny to the people being cheated.

There must be more to this scam.
Giving them your bank account details is no good to them unless you also give them your username and password.

I have just received an mail from a mob calling themselves Fonton Dubbo stating that I've got a traffic infringement totalling $154.80. I can't tell you any more about it as I deleted it immediately, but I got to wondering how many others gave got this email, and/or how many have opened it up just through curiosity and copped a virus or something sinister.

cheers

We've accrued 3 or 4 of these traffic infringement notices.  Our last one was from Andrew Domain.  All from Dubbo except the last one which was from Queensland.  The worst thing is that they do make them look quite official.  I guess they do get a few clicking on their link.  We just delete them and bar the email address.  Of course they will pop up with a new address.
