email Scams
Been asked to share this post from the 'Leads Forum':
Quite a few people in our area have reported receiving a large number of scam emails. NetSafe have created a service people can forward the emails to, and they will deal with them by creating a bogus automated responder which wastes the scammers' time to slow them down from scamming new victims.
"If you’ve received a scam email, forward it to me@rescam.org and we’ll take it from there. We’ll even send you an unedited summary of the conversations Re:scam has had with the scammer – sometimes they can be quite humorous."
You can find out more about Re:scam and how it works at www.rescam.org......
For information and advice about scams, visit the Netsafe website."
Worth a try. One may pick up some hints to try on the 'Phone scammers' too 😝
