Good Morning Marion,

That was good you caught those scammers. I am an Aussie living abroad so it does not affect me. Imagine just before the holidays' people go shopping and discover their account is empty. That would be really awful. Thank you for the warning.

Greetings from the south of Spain,

Thank you Marion to share it.
Now is the season for these type of scams. Always before Christmas, they try to send you link , email or even call to verify your ID and account. Try to not login to your accounts when you are in open-WiFI area. Use you cell data or from your home secure wifi.

Wow, good instincts Marion! Thanks for alerting us to this type of scam, it may affect Aussies directly, but this goes on all over the works.

Big Tip Off: Not only was "informations" a poor usage of English grammar, there are many article words missing in the letter (i.e., a, the, etc).

Thanks for the tip. I got scammed this way on my laptop regarding a Microsoft breach and like an ignorant fool, I fell for it. Thank God my friends in IT at NJCU fixed it. I just couldn't get access to anything on the hard drive, Good thing I back up everything into Google..

The phishing scams drive me bonkers up a wall. I feel bad for folks who have lost everything over these types of link scams. Heck, even clicking some links puts all your personal information out there for everyone to see and steal. It's awful.

Stay vigilant when visiting new sites or receiving emails my friends.
