scam

I have recently received unsolicited mail from a crowd calling themselves MASOddyssey. The contents include a brochure and 2 scratchie tickets. I suspect every envelope includes a winning 2nd prize of $170K USD.

On contacting the senders via email, including scans of the ticket, I was advised that my ticket was indeed a winner.

I suspect a few Canberra residents have been contacted.

They are known to Scam Detector

Pfft, joke is on the OP… Ive already sent them scanned copies of my passport, driver license and 3 other forms of ID!!!

Last one to get their $170k is a rotten egg!!!

Don’t forget to give them your bank account details as well, so they can direct deposit it for you.

Probably just trying to drum up interest and get people to Summernats
