I know a couple here have fallen to more transparent scams so I thought I'd share about this one, which is actually pretty clever (so I expect it will become tried around the world). Not THAT clever, but still better than many others people fall for.

In this video, Detective Inspector Rob King explains how fraudsters target people over the phone and trick them into giving their online banking details or PIN to the criminals, then send a courier to collect their card. Don't be caught out

I wish there were easily accessed updates for the latest scams to watch out for. That is to say public service announcements. I believe they'd be ever more useful than talking about mammograms or texting & driving which I think are pretty much ignored anyway.
