Just had an interesting email from Australia offering me a refund on my taxes of 347.99 AD.
All I have to do if fill in my details of the attached form and send it off.
 
Actually all the details are for the Assie taxation authorities addresses tel no. etc, its just not possible for any one outside Aussie to fill in ie tax number, address, drivers licence number, Post code.
ETC.

Do they want to know your bank details so they can put the money in Retlaw
You would be surprised to find where these people get their information from. The only people that are going to get any money, is them, from you.
Why would the Aussie tax office owe you money.

Just remember if it sounds to good to be true it is.

If anyone wishes to check if they've been spammed all they have to do is:-

Contact me, giving their bank details, National Insurance number, passport/drivers licence details and I will check their accounts to see if they are worth spamming.
I can assure you this will in no way invade your privacy, because I probably won't be in touch with you again.

You are of course right, what I put was only a joke.

However, is Security a joke?

Oh, yes, we all get spam checkers, virus checkers, install them allow them to update, some cost a great deal of money.

Hang about though?

Take a step back, if virus checkers cost a large amount to produce, who pays for the viruses? Surely they cost money to develop?

Maybe, some people aren't doing us any good?

They supply software with a promise to swiftly remove viruses, but if they removed the folk that actually create them, bang goes a very large multi-million business.

Maybe the virus creators would be wearing T-shirt's, Sponsored by... (enter the name of the Company you use).

Just to steal a moment from Mag's and Conspiracy what if the Virus checkers put this crap out? No wonder they can fix it so quickly!
:eek:

thing is less people are quick to scream virus when infact all they have is malware which in a lot of cases they agreed to install when they skipped past the check boxes when wanting to install some new cute smilies etc.

it may seem free but its not and in most cases the cost of this so called free software is your internet history
 
The only problem is there will be some one who WILL get hooked, otherwise they wouldn't do it, its usually elderly people, who can't tell the difference. These scams used to be by way of mail shots, but with more and more elderly people using the internet the scammers have changed tack, but its still the same adage if it looks to good to be true it usually is

My last post on this. The reason it says 347.99AD, is because they don't have this $ sign on their keyboard. Likewise, i don't have the pound sign on mine. Also, it would if written, say AUD 347.99 not 347.99AD.
 
You're never to old to learn with help from Accy Web. Thanks for that ossy kid.
