In Oz, we get calls supposedly from our new NBN (National Broadband Network) which require us to talk to a technician, who then tells us how he needs to have access to our computer to correct some (mythical) flaw in the setup: this might work if I had actually been on the NBN at the time (!), except that I never allow anyone I haven't contacted to have access to my PCs. This one follows the Microsoft scam, the emails from known clients and suppliers with attachments where the email address has been spoofed - do they never stop? Unfortunately, it's reported that Australians have lost over 3 billion dollars to these scumbags in the last decade...
I can understand how people, like my mother at 101, who are unsophisticated about computers and the internet, do fall for them, but the case of one man who sent repeated amounts to an investment scammer (to a total of 3 million A$) baffles me.
