A new scamming attempt

This morning I received a phone call from somebody who had an Indian accent and claimed that he was from the Government Department that issues grants. He claimed that I had been chosen to receive a Government Grant of between $5000 - $25,000. It sounded good but when I went online to check things out I discovered that it was somebody trying to scam me. The Government simply does not ring people up and offer grants.

I reported the phone call to Consumer Affairs. I did not give away my financial details and no money was lost.

I later went and bought a new filing folder for filing my business documents and a new USB stick.

The latest version of Celebrity Apprentice was on tv.

Back to Optus

I have had a falling out with ACN who were providing my mobile phone service.

I went to Optus in the marketplace and signed up for a new prepaid service. I can still use my current phone, it just means that I now have a new mobile phone number and I do not have to be locked into any contracts.
