QANTAS Cyber Incident

I guess they can also spoof their calling ph # to come from 13**13, and of course, some phones will onfollow from previous 13**13 if you have had calls from that one in the past.
At least EML uses 44 as they are based in the UK, and the QPay (debit) side will send 2fa 6 digit sms from there.

You're suggesting they deserve to be scammed?!!!

It's easy and cheap to send a million emails. When someone responds there's time and effort to expend. As a scammer, you want people that are more likely to go through with the scam.

I received an email on the weekend purporting to be from Qantas asking for a profile conformation.The email came in on the email address I used prior to the QFF hack. So very suspicious and it was asking for updates to protect my card details.The origin email address also looked very suspicious .​

This is the heading for the suspect email-Quick Profile Confirmation Needed

Asking for personal details to be sent to an attached email address is a sure clue that it's a scam.

I’m still surprised by the number of phone calls from “Telstra” telling me that the NBN is going to be disconnected… If I’m bored, I give them a head wobbling good time drawing them out. Most them time I can’t be bothered…it’s just annoying in the end.
