1318341 2012-12-19 07:14:00 Have also had one from Vodafone thanking me for a non-existent payment I made! Also another pxt from a number I don't even know (an Aussie 061.....). Just gotta be careful I guess.

Oh yes - both with attached ZIP files! Open these please (LOL)

I just received that one as well.

It seems to be an organised campaign building up its operation so let your friends know what is happening

It is the apparent genuineness of the emails that will catch them, that and the links to 'real' pages from the spoofed site.

1318343 2012-12-19 19:51:00 Another Vodafone and another Tax Office this morning, both different to the previous messages, and again, very convincing, just the odd spelling error and words run together to suggest that all is not kosher.

I'm not sure why anybody in Oz would targeting Kiwis at NZ email addresses, it is a dead giveaway that they are scams.

No doubt they will continue to flow in, but I'll not post any more, that's enough to alert anybody here.
