Watch our for fake Australia Post emails
Be aware that there are fake Australia Post emails doing the rounds.
Apparently they say there is a parcel for you and you have to download something or other. Don't do it...once you do your computer is infected.
The emails look exactly like Australia Post emails.
From Australia Post web site
Please be aware that Australia Post will never:
- Ask you to click on an email link to print off a label to redeem your package
- Email or call you to ask for personal or financial information including password, credit card details or account information
- Email you to reconfirm your physical mailing address by clicking on a link
- Call or email you out of the blue to request payment
If you receive any suspicious emails, please:
- Delete them immediately
- Do not click on any links or attachments
- Report to SCAMwatch or Stay Smart Online

These emails must being delivered like Auspost letters as I have yet to receive one.
