Slight variation on a theme this time: 'Same different day..!'

Looks like I'm about to miss the deadline...!!! Oh well, hopefully that'll mean this will probably be the last of these scam e-mails I'll receive...!

Hopefully we're all getting too smart to get caught by this amateurish 'Telstra' scam... As well as the obvious, note also that the 'due date' was about to
expire, the 'corporate colours' are not even close, 'nl' indicates it came from the Netherlands, acc. number is clearly phoney, and the generic 'Hi User' is a dead give-away...

Please note the scam as reported by John van Maanenberg. I have had a similar scam attempted on me at least twice, so be aware.

Cheers

Hi Bob, There's a scam doing the rounds purporting to be me (Johannes van Maanenberg), asking the recipient to contact me.

Dutchy Veldtmeyer, Chip Dale, and two of my brothers have already connected with me regarding this scam, and since two members of our mobi's intake have been involved I think it'd be an idea to alert our other intake members of this scam, so they can delete it on receipt of it. I seem to have lost the mailing list, and wonder if you could please step in with yours, as you post regular bulletins to all and sundry.

Best regards,
John van Maanenberg.

My best solution for this sort of scam is to always delete any previous email address/name details before forwarding. That is how scammers get the names and links.

But, most people won't take the few seconds to delete before sending!

And when sending mass emails, always use the Bcc address line. - BC

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, it's probably a duck seems pertinent with these scams etc.
