With so many scams out there, especially now as we face the end of the financial year and the pinned “How to spot a tax scam” post being nearly a year old, I’m going to pin this thread as a place to share advice regarding scams or any new scams you might have noticed.
This isn’t to say not to post scam related stuff in the main community but to create a place to keep track of scam related stuff which might get washed away over time.
The exception is courier companies, they do sometimes know your phone number and send valid SMS notifications. And its damn hard to tell the difference between legit and scam notifications.
Also auspost do send SMS if you send a parcel or give then your number for tracking.
