Australian Govt Scamwatch site said in Nov - Australians have already lost about $12.9 million to online shopping including classifieds scams so far this year, & posted this today - New year, new #flubot phishing scam. Stay alert as scammers are now using news headlines and fake social media notifications to try and convince you to click these dodgy links. This is a malware #scam designed to steal your contacts and banking info – do not click!

I got a funny call this afternoon - a very unprofessional voice drawled "Hi, I'm (name) from Telstra". As is my wont I hang up immediately. Telstra is our largest telco & wouldn't have such an unenthusiastic voice on their phones. Most scammers wouldn't either.
