“I got an unsolicited text message offering freelance work with unlimited earning potential. It felt like a scam. The message was from someone named Robert Walters, who I've never heard of, and endorsed by Mina, who is also unfamiliar. The number traced back to Telstra. I recommend blocking it, although these scammers usually just switch to using a different number.”

“I got a message from someone on WhatsApp using the Australian phone number 0485 842 132, claiming to be Binjamin Omar. They said they were an Indonesian on a Bridging visa in Australia and asked for money to feed their family. They mentioned getting my number from someone at an Adelaide Mosque. When they sent me their family photo, bank balances, and SA Drivers Licence, I asked for more documents like their immigration papers, passport, and detailed bank statements. I noticed discrepancies in the driver's license and discovered it was not valid. Also, all the IDs they provided had the same photo. When I searched the phone number on reverseau.com, it showed that it was associated with scamming Australians. Stay alert for this kind of scam.”
