Scams: home phone, mobile, internet or mail
cheekymonkey by cheekymonkey Talking(August 2007) (rank 500+)

This is just a little follow up to a previous entry I have made about a "anti-virus" scam.

I have located a couple of good aussie websites that have information about current scams operating via means of home phone, mobiles, internet/email and mail. They give information about the

scam, name it, how to protect yourself from them and also how you can report them. The later part I think is really important.

One site is a government site set up by ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) and the other is a student services page from the University of New Emgland in NSW.

So Here goes: (the links will take you straight to the appropriate page)

http://www.une.edu.au/it-services/students/software/virusprotection/index.php

I know these sre only a couple and if anyone has any others to add, let me know and I will put them on here.

Re: Scams: home phone, mobile, internet or mail
I do have another website like this but will have to ask hubby what it is, as he has it on his computer.... he uses these sorts of sites on a daily basis.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
