Scams like these

Bing tells me that the population of the USA is 338.02M (2025), and given the fact that POTUS is kicking many out at a great rate, surely this number is going down.

Fair point. Stand corrected.

A “Centrelink” scam email, though I am not a Centrelink customer.
Could trick some legitimate Centrelink customers

I will admit I fell for this, i get a mygov msg a few times a year

Clicked it , only realised it was a scam when it said "security cloud flare detected" or something like that and didnt work, hovering over the link showed it was some weird link

My wife and I got scammed recently via an Instagram ad.

She saw the ad on Instagram (I don't use Instagram) for a product.

I went to the website, looked ok. I made the mistake of not checking the domain. If I did I would have seen the trust pilot bad reviews.

I ordered the product, paid AUD$77 via Paypal.

The website sent me tracking info via tracking-hub.com - after about a month of these dodgy looking emails, I looked up tracking-hub.com and lo and behold, trust pilot reviews indicate this is a known fake scam tracking website.

I've initiated a Paypal dispute to try to get a refund. At least these scammers don't have my direct credit card.

So if the seller sends you tracking information via tracking-hub.com, know that you've been scammed.

The view in browser and Verify Now links are both phishing but the landline really is Qantas Wine so not quite next level

this could be interesting if you have an iPhone and a visa card.

We don't do much online shopping but last Thursday I made a clothing purchase, due to arrive via AusPost scheduled for this Wednesday.
Saturday get an email, parcel with different tracking number is arriving today ( Anzac Day) please "confirm address".
No thank you.
Have been tracking via AusPost and hasn't left Brisbane yet.
Interestingly , almost every time Mr Flyfrequently buys something - same thing happens

Weirdly detailed instructions on how to stop my “Qantas Fly Points” from expiring.

I assume that wasn't your actual number of points?
