SCAM WATCH MEDIA TIP

Again, this blog suggests news editors of Australian media should run a regular SCAM WATCH section , like the weather report, informing the public of the endless latest scams and annoying spam bombarding all parts of the nation . Invite readers, listeners , followers to alert you to the latest scams. Just recently ,Little Darwin was informed about a scam in which a Townsville person narrowly escaped losing $20,000. A bizarre email seems to have targeted sufferers of diabetes , packets of hemp being mailed out. Darwin friends say they were bombarded with nuisance calls, got them blocked, but a new wave started after a break .Ruthless scammers have been ringing  Melbourne people in lockdown claiming to be from government.  There is an opening for the SCAM WATCH  in regional papers in particular . Another Nicole like caller  claiming to be from NBN  has just surfaced in North Queensland along with  another annoying woman  purporting to be from Amazon re an account . Because of  its far reach and reliability, the ABC, an invaluable national institution which needs to be defended from the barbarians  , we  suggest should  look  into  this SCAM WATCH   proposal.
