This is a new one for me; "Aust Post" saying they couldn't deliver a package because of an "Incomplete deliver address". It includes a link for you to presumably input the correct address and pay new shipping cost of $1,170 (their comma, not mine).

It actually took me little bit of time to realise it was a scam e-mail; the giveaway was the Aust Post logo has been poorly cut-and-pasted. The sender was "support" (email [email protected])<[email protected]>

</[email protected]>Currently I, like many others; am experiencing a fair amount of Aus Post emails with packges being sent etc so if you're in the same boat as me keep a sharp eye out for these.

This is the link; I have have disabled it by buggering up the HTTPS bit:

another give away - at the bottom - "The Australian Post Ltd 2020"

thankfully they have a poor knowledge of our businesses and ever poorer copy editing.

I read (1,70$) not $1,170.

Thanks for the warning.

The comma is German usage for a decimal rather than a full stop.

Woops... finger failure. And now I don't have the "edit post" option anymore.....

Thanks for highlighting it.
