you guys might think its stupid, cause you probably have an IQ over 40, but even if they can fool 1 out of 10000 people there doing very well for themselves.
sad thing is they probably get most of the older people who are not up to speed with all the techno savvy internet bullshit that goes on.

Yeah.. they must surely get a ton of idiots.

Not every one is an idiot. A lot of elderly people fall for these sort's of things.

yeah wouldn't suprise me if a few of the ederly got stung with this one. Im sure there are more than a few pensioners who could actually use the $370 they are offering.

It's only $370 to you to an elderly lady that's an upgrade from homebrand to whiskas.

Like I said above, one week exactly for me, 2 weeks max for etax according to the ATO. Unless of course it needs human consideration or you get audited.

Mines direct into my account as well. But last year mine took about 7-8 weeks thanks to the shitstorm about HECS and thier new system.

Sadly there are many people out there who will fall for these sorts of scams.
Besides scams being against the law, I'm pretty sure impersonating a government department and government employee is a federal crime that probably carries some pretty substantial penalties.
