Yeah, me too Joe. as discussed in this thread

I wonder, is it Aust Post leaking the information, or the companies we are buying from?
I got the AGL one too, a while back.
Very real looking.
Although I was a little suspicious.
So I went on line to check.
One of their on line chat help opens up.
I ask him about it. Said I was suspicious as I was not a customer, but was interested in the offer.
He says not to worry, its probably from one of their sales agents.
So I clicked on the offer. [my bad]
AND it was a scam.
AGL even had a warning buried in their own website.
Shame they didn't tell their own staff about it.
Luckily I clicked on the offer using an iMac, and the trick page wouldn't open.
