| 1487385 | 2022-07-16 01:31:00 | they get cunning. like the IRD scams that they send only at the right time of year when your expecting it. they can use public data bases to check when car rego is due etc. of course simple way to avoid it is to not use the email link but ignore it and go to the govt/banks/etc own website first. First line made me think your post was about SWMBO's Ken (doll) :) |

| 1487388 | 2022-07-18 08:00:00 | I get these rego scam emails all the time. Aside from the fact that it's not due anyway, the most obvious giveaway is that the URL they want you to pay at is always some utter hodge-podge of random domains and sub-domains with ltsa, nzta etc etc stuck in the middle somewhere. Clearly NOT the official website at all! |

| 1487392 | 2022-07-19 01:52:00 | She knows that, I have told her what to look for, all the usual things, but when I showed her the email she thought it was OK. It's not as if she is stupid, quite a good grasp of things in general! That's what I call frustrating! Ken ;) |
