Coming to think about it, does anyone know, how scammers can insert who they want to have their email "seem to appear" from?
Is it taught to them?
Eg (AF*officer41231@af*.gov.au) using it as an example, where it fact its from (georgios41779@g*ail.com)?
Or the disclosure is "not allowed"?

Sometimes too, you have to think of it this way, maybe some people do it like this to fish for live email addresses.

Had something from (Centre-link Australia), but hovering over, its the Catholic uni of Ecuador, (non-respond@...), I know now to hover over, ...

I think everyone knows how to hover now - it's been mentioned several times in this thread

As an aside, the news said last month was scam awareness month.
Think too, that some people are just too money hungry, chasing the highest return, either for savings or super, and move money.

Best way, to avoid a big money draw, is to have 2 accounts with your bank, once your pay or Centrelink pension goes in, debit preferably, and move any unneeded $ to a sav account , can transfer $ back when you need it.
If the scammers try to *uck out a large sum, and you havent got a lot in a debit account, it will get declined.
If they try a small amount, you would see what would be happening, and can take action asap.
Sometimes, having a debit card is better than having a credit card, with a large (available credit) balance, even tho its the banks money.

No one wants to say how they do it?

A quick Google search shows that the major email clients can do this as a matter of course.
