Ever had a call where the bloke tells you he's from the Australian Taxation Department, then quickly corrects himself to Australian Taxation Office?

Apparently my son has lost his phone and has a new number.

You too? My apparent son seems to be in a foreign country judging by the country code!

Once I got a call from a detective at Scotland Yard about my daughter losing her phone. Not only do I not have a daughter but I was actually in London at the time. So I told him I was just around the corner and I would come in and just wait for detective Drron.. That phone turned up quickly..

My wife got the laziest scam e-mail yesterday. It just said that 'your assessment was ready' and to click the link. The sender was not even disguised as some government body it just used the name of a Philadelphia Dentist.

I know, I got one similar and at first I didn't believe her. Now I own a Cirrus light aircraft and the cough is costing me $1200 per month in parking fees at Bankstown airport and she won't take it back because she reckons it's a gift.

I was listening the "Life and Technology with Charlie Brown" program on 2gb this morning when I listener called up to relate that he is receiving emails addressed to someone with the same name as him but with a "full stop" between first and last name. Bills, inter-family missives etc.. He opined if this other person in the US was receiving his emails as well. The host explained email protocol allowed you to put a full stop anywhere in a name in the email address and it made no difference to whether or not you received the email. The recommendation is that if you receive a same name email with a full stop in the name then it is a scam / spam and you should teach your email client to treat it as spam and bin it.
