WARNING: Online scams begin here

Screen Shot 2016-01-06 at 7.18.36 amI received this email from telco Telstra several times this week. It is another phishing email, an email that ought to be deleted and not acted upon.

Already this year there have been emails from the ATO, banks, telcos and airlines.

I know of several newsagents who have been caught and have lost time and, in one case, money, as a result.

It is important you take care with emails, especially those from organisations from which you do not receive emails on a regular basis. Make sure your employees know to be equally careful with your work email.

    Often the poor phrasing of these emails gives them away at fake.
