Just received this phishing attempt in the mail supposedly from “Australian Government Department of Human Services [inter@kcis.edu.hk]”. For those that don’t know, phishing is an attempt to trick you into providing personal information for malicious reasons. The information obtained can later be used to impersonate you to rack up $ charges over the phone or on-line, or to take over your on-line identity, etc.
PLEASE NOTE THE EMAIL ADDRESS is from Kiangsu and Chekiang Primary School in Hong Kong.
I have not seen this one before, so I thought others should be warned.
PS: I have reported this to https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/report-a-scam
