New internet scam hits Australia

With millions of dollars being ripped from the pockets of Australian internet users every year, the email scams are becoming simpler but still deadly effective.

The scams seem innocent enough with the simple advice in the latest scam that the recipient has won 750,000 Great Britain Pounds.

I then asks only for the person's Name, Age and Country.

All pretty innocent until the final sting when they ask for your bank account details supposedly to deposit the winnings into.
Within minutes, your bank account is stripped of all its funds.

This can happen to hundreds of internet users at a time as the result of just one worldwide email.

Be warned and warn your friends, especially those new to the internet.

This is the full text of the latest scam email:


From: Irish News Centre

You won 750,000 GBP.

Send: Name, Age, Country
