WARNING !!! - JUST A HEADS UP.......

5kazam · ‎13-12-2016

I received an email this morning headed something like IMPORTANT NOTICE, and from a person, not the Police or Infringements Office. It alleged that I had received a traffic infringement and owed something like $400+ dollars.

Sorry, I didn't keep all the accurate details before deleting it.

So if anyone does receive something like this - get rid of it immediately - DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS.

I know it's not an eBay issue, but figured this forum was a good place to put out a warning.

Also some scam Aust Post emails going around trying to get info pretending their is a xmas parcel waiting.

Don't give any personal details online.

I had one from 'Optus' telling me my last payment didn't go through

and asking me to confirm bank details.

Yeah, right

There are emails going around also, from paypal stating money has been put into the pp account. Just click onto this link and confirm....no thanks!!

Would love the $15,000 odd they are offering but I'm not that stupid!!!

It's too late with that scam kopes as there have been lots of people who have fallen victim and $$$$$$$$ have been

taken by the scammers.

I've had two of those already - both different amounts and, as you say, appears to be from a private person, not police or anyone official. Like you, these went straight to Trash!

I also deleted it from Trash - didn't want that lurking around in my computer.

I would open it just to be sure.

I had one from a solicitor in Nigeria about a relative I never knew of who recently died.

He has left me $3,000,000.00.

It's expensive claiming it though. So far I have spennt over $5,000 in international clearance fees and solicitors fees.

Lucky you

I hope you are joking.

I have had quite a number of my extended family pass away lately....the Nigerian lawyers are very busy settling their affairs.
