Jokes aside many people fall for these .. I received one of those Tax Department Scam Messages so I decided to play the schmuck and see how far Alice would take me down the rabbit hole. When a person answered I ask them to explain the issue .. then I BS'd saying I worked for the Tax Department and that I am working with the Australian Federal Police to investigate this. I demanded that they give me details of my TFN and my Full Name, they gave me nothing but crap info which I told them so. They then panicked saying it was a mistake .. I then retorted tfr it was a mistake and hung up. I have not received anymore of those messages.

Just last week I heard that a elderly woman was scammed $220K from a false claim that an arrest warrant was issued against her so she followed the scammers bouncing ball. We laugh at peoples stupidity but this sort of thing really angers me.

Nice one Col,

I was hoping for a new Camera and lens, don't suppose you could send the funds through my agent.

Just a short term loan Buddy, Friend

Thanks Leon

Well.

I did a quick bit of research.

The address is valid, but it doesn't
hold the office of Mr Tyler.

Mr Tyler exists.

He holds an office with Newtons Solicitors in Darlington UK.
Two hours from Manchester.

The website of grahamtylerchambers exists
It has been up since 14.09.21.
It has the same letter on its only page.

The Website domain is from....

Africa.

Setup 15.09.21.
Ten days ago.

Screen shots for those interested.

Paul.
