Oh dear, seems I forgot to pay a toll bill

Received an SMS stating I owe $5.83 toll bill and it must be paid by 9th January.
Funny that. The last time I was on a toll road would have been circa 1995 when I drove on the North–South Expressway Northern Route in Malaysia.

Another scam. I get them all the time, sometimes several in a day.

@Gusman Yep, licence expired, car rego expired, WOF expired, parcel needs details for delivery, etc. They are so obvious that I am surprised that some people fall for it.

@novaguy2u I do not understand how people fall for these obvious scams.
Sad really.

@Gusman We had a recent incident where someone tried to make a claim on her bank, after she remitted money to a scammer overseas, even though the bank had first told her they suspected it was a scam. Some people! Another person complained to the Banking Ombudsman, wanting to claim damages from her bank and claiming discrimination, after the bank blocked her credit and debit cards to prevent her sending money to an obvious scammer. Sometimes you just can't win.

I get the occasional pop up that says my computer is need of malware. I never pay attention to it. I know they want me to bu6 something.

@Spoiledbrat Not necessarily you [i]buying[/i] anything.

It's their way to have you let them install spyware, remote-access, or similar.

Some even want you to let them install the commercial IT-network system Anydesk so they can do what they want with your computer or Internet-linked 'phone: typically to gain access to your finances.
