LOL...and yet another stupid warning. When in australia have we ever been charged for receiving a call on your mobile? This is nothing more than some stupid yankee babble.
Also, didn't we just have this post disputed just recently?

Stuffed if I know what is right or wrong, correct or incorrect, but the link does go to the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
So take it as you will.

Thanks Ole Grizzly,
You meant well and served as a reminder that my home number could be close to expiry on the register and registered my mobile numbers as well at the same time.
I think it is a fact that people can ring your mobile phone and leave a number. When you return the call it costs a fortune. I never return calls unless I know the number.

You can be charged for receiving phone calls on your mobile because it happened to me and I had a difficult time refuting it.

Ole_grizzly, I just reread my post and that is not how I meant it to come out. I apologize as I was inferring the scam is stupid, not you.

This cr@p did the rounds on some other forums a month or two ago .
Then the next time you receive an email with dire warnings Google the heading and read about the reality of the warning, before you hit the forward button.
Cheers

You couldn't be more wrong. Spam email, for that matter email itself does not have viruses. It's attachements that people click on and web site links that one can click on that has viruses. Just reading a junk email will do you no harm in 99.9% of the time.

Don't worry about opening emails, just don't click on the links and attachments these are the ones that carry the viruses and with a bit of luck your antivirus program will block it if you click on them in error. Cheers David
