I prefer the one that points out you should wash your hair with dishwasher powder because whereas shampoos add body dishwasher products remove fat so it keeps your hair clean and acts as a slimming aid.
Thinking about it perhaps it was a joke not a scam.:slight_smile:

This is a fairly standard one that we seem to get for Apple, PayPal, Amazon etc

I get these, almost invariably accompanied by one to ‘cover my funeral expenses’ - at 77-years old the mind boggles!

Hi Chris

Netsafe now have an AI email bot that automatically replies to scam emails, effectively re-scamming the scammer and wasting their time with lots of questions. You just forward the scam email to me@rescam.org and they can even send you a summary of any conversations with the scammer.
Not tried it yet, but anyone else seen this or tried it out?

Thanks Mark…Interesting to hear about Netsafe…

sounds a bit like leaving the phone line “open” on a bogus caller… just waste their time/money not ours… :joy:

Sounds like fun. Might just give it a try.
