Just a Couple of Scams to Be Aware Of

I have been getting so many email scams lately, I just wanted to make you aware of a couple.

The first couple would only apply to Australian Residents.  I have been receiving the same 2 every couple of days.  They are both similar and claiming to be from St George Bank & The Commonwealth Bank.  They are both scams asking you to log in to your online banking as they can see you have been having trouble logging in.  DO NOT DO THIS.  IT IS A SCAM.

The next would apply mainly to website owners.  There has been a Hong Kong company trying to sell domain names.  They will email you letting you know that someone else is trying to purchase a domain name similar to yours.  It is a scam.  They tried to sell me a .au domain name for 1 year.  Big mistake on their behalf as you cannot register just a .au domain name (e.g. kelliesimon.au), and all Australian domain names have to be registered for a minimum of 2 years. They tried to offer it to me for 1 year.

If you do receive these emails just delete them.
