Hi guys - I thought I'd post this here in case some of you have missed the news recently, this is easy enough to do being a parent as we don't always have time to sit and rest . . . This is VERY important especially if you have younger ones using mobiles or even an elderly relative . .
Police wish to inform the public of a recent scam similar to the hitman email scam that is being sent in the form of a spam text message.
It appears people are receiving a text message stating that their life is in danger and the sender has been employed to kill them.
The text message states:
"Someone paid me to kill you. If you want me to spare you, I give you 2 days to pay 5000 dollars. If you inform the police or anybody, you will die, I am monitoring you."
This message is followed by numerous other messages asking for funds to be transferred via Western Union to the name ASSANA MIZELE PATRICK.
A yahoo address with the user name khun19 is also mentioned.
“Members of the public are advised not to be alarmed if they receive these text messages to their mobile phone,” said Superintendent Brian Hay, Fraud and Corporate Crimes Group.
“In order to protect Australian consumers Western Union have advised that they have blocked the transfer of all funds to the name stated in the text message, however, the scammers may change the name,” he said. |
