Pretty standard. When you're waiting for a parcel from Auspost with tracking you might also get scam emails advising this and that about your delivery. When you change internet or mobile supplier, when you buy something from amazon ,ebay, etc... when you bpay or pay your company taxes and deal with the ATO, you often get "related" scam/phishing mails relating to what you're doing or waiting for at the time. It just shows that all those mobs, govt or other, so called privacy and security leak. The worst I've had was an unauthorized purchase on the apple store minutes after I concluded a credit card transaction over the phone with Edmund optics 10 years ago. Westpac blocked it immediately. Even some employees dip in.
