Recieved a message saying I have an offer of a deal from my electricity provider with a link.
Didn't follow link as my provider only sends through email and post. Also they never provide a link in any correspondence, as do most companies.

They said they were from Australian Govenment doing Surveys -
Bad vibes -

Caller: Supposedly from Vic Gov

Wanting me to complete a survey re my supposed experience as a Carer. Do not know anything about this. Caller used what looks like a legitimate site at Barwon Health but lists areas in Bendigo, Ballarat etc. This the second time in the last 2 years. Wants my email address or to call a 1800 number to complete this survey.

SMS about the Victorian Government seeking feedback about a recent visit to the local GP. Had a link to go to start the survey, or change and go via Email. Sounded like a scam. But what I'm worried about is how did they know that I did recently did visit my GP? I think since Medicare got hacked, scammers use ANY method to collect info and scam people. To find out if your Email has been compromised, go to this site ( haveibeenpwned.com ) and put your Email in and see how many times it has been hacked. Hope this is helpful.
