Scam Texts

Many Australians have been receiving scam text messages about missed calls, voicemails or deliveries on their mobile phone. 

These text messages ask you to tap on a link to download an app to track or organise a time for a delivery or hear a voicemail message. However, the message is fake, there is no delivery or voicemail, and the app is actually malicious software called Flubot.

Installing the Flubot software is likely to give scammers access to your passwords and accounts and can also send messages to the numbers it steals from your phone, continuing and expanding the scam.

What does a Flubot SMS look like?

You may receive text messages that ask you to make an action such as: click a link to track or organise a time for delivery, or to hear a voicemail message.
 
Clicking/tapping the link could lead to downloading malware (malicious software) to your phone. As a general rule, if you receive a text message that contains a link, do not click on the link.
Our next guest speaker

On the 18th Dr Rizsa Albarracin talks to the club about the Shepherds Arms Foundation.

A child asked his father, "How were people born?" So his father said, "Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on." The child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, "We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now." The child ran back to his father and said, "You lied to me!" His father replied, "No, your mom was talking about her side of the family."
