Scam Alert!
My sister sent this to me in an email.
Consumers are being warned about an email-phishing scam offering $500 Myer gift cards to people who fill out a survey.
The New South Wales Department of Fair Trading says those who have replied to the survey from the so-called Shoppers Saving Centre have not received
the cards and Myer has told the department it has no association with the scheme.
Minister for Fair Trading Virginia Judge says it appears to be a scam designed to obtain consumers internet provider addresses so a virus can access
their banking details.
Consumers are being advised to delete the email immediately and not to reply under any circumstances.
