Sm malls about

Jamie Heslop’s personal details were compromised when a phone scammer gained access to his bank account in April. He fell victim to phone number swapping scam, known as fraudulent phone porting, where a con-artist targets an unsuspecting individual and moves their phone number from one SIM to another. Jamie Heslop and Dea Krvavac (both pictured) from Adelaide had $8500 stolen from their wedding account. Picture: Dea Krvavac/TwitterSource:Twitter Usually a text message is sent by network providers alerting owners their number is being swapped to another SIM, but according to Yahoo News, Mr Heslop said he didn’t receive a warning and instead had his personal details accessed and passwords amended. In a matter of minutes the fraudster then stole money which was supposed to pay for his wedding day. Mr Heslop had no idea it was a fraudulent issue and put it down to a billing problem when he tried to contact his fiance Dea Krvavac and failed to get through. It was only when he … [Read more...] about Couple’s wedding day ruined by $8500 phone number scam

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has issued an urgent warning about the overseas scam calls, which manipulate caller identification to appear as if they are coming from a real ATO phone number. Scammers have adopted “robocall” technology to send prerecorded messages demanding payment of a tax debt and threatening immediate arrest. If the recipient answers the phone, at the end of the message they will get an option to speak to a human, who will attempt to keep the caller on the line until payment is made and may become rude or aggressive. “I think scammers are trying different techniques,” ATO assistant commissioner Gavin Siebert said. “This particular technique is called caller ID spoofing. What we are seeing is people will get a missed call, they’ll call us back and it goes through to an ATO officer, which almost legitimises the scammer,” The ATO has received 40,225 reports of impersonation scams since January, compared with about 30,000 … [Read more...] about ATO issues urgent phone scam warning

        If I tried to sell you a fragrance called ‘Rose’, my guess is that you would be reluctant to buy it. Indians like roses but we associate the scent with sherbet or rosewater. In India, unlike the West, rose is what perfumers would call a gourmand smell or one that reminds us of food. And so, we are reluctant to put it on our bodies.It isn’t just the gourmand element. There was a time, a couple of decades ago, when everyone loved vanilla perfumes even though they smelled like ice-cream. And people still wear Angel which is credited with popularising the cotton candy smell of ethyl maltol (a fragrance synthetic) and whose success led to a rash of chocolate perfumes.It is also, I think, that at some deep, subliminal level, Indians regard rose as too desi a smell. We do not associate it with expensive perfume and are reluctant to spend money on something that seems so ordinary and downmarket, almost as though it was a bottle of cheap … [Read more...] about The Taste With Vir: A rose by any other name: Why Indians shy away from the great rose perfumes
