Please chat to your less technical family & friends & give them some concrete examples and tips on how to recognise red flags in emails.
Maybe suggest they identify someone they trust to advise them if they’re in doubt.

#Australian Federal Government agencies & departments who use the MyGov system, always remind Australians that they will never put #Links in their emails & text messages. The fact that this one offers you a #SecureLink is a very #BigRedFlag!

Another sign it’s a scam email …

It says the sender is Medicare, but then provides a message from the #AustralianTaxOffice #ATO. In real life, Medicare does not send out ATO related mail, and vice versa!

What are some signs it is a #Scam?

Check the address it originated from. This one comes from a random gmail address. Legitimate emails from the government should have an address like: at < .gov.au>.

#Aussies, I received this email today.

It looks legit, right? It’s got a logo and it’s nicely formatted. They’ve even given me a #SecureLink!

Should I click on the link?

Answer: NO! #DoNotClickOnTheLink
