Hitman Scam Resurfaces

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) have reissued warnings of a scam spread via both email and SMS.

The "Hitman" scam involves recipients receiving an SMS or email stating something along the lines of

“Sum1 paid me to kill you. get spared, 48hrs to pay $5000. If you inform the police or anybody, death is promised…E-mail me now: killerking247yahoo.com.”

Do not repsond to this sms or email as the scammers will then try to extort money form you in order to stop the supposed (fake) threat to your life.
Ignoring them and deleting any messages is the best way to deal with this as responding will only confirm that the email or phone number is valid and is being read.

More information regarding this new alert can be found in this article on the Stay Smart Online Website

Australia Post ‘tracking notification’ email Scam

Posted on by Wigs Online

virus alert
auspost_logo

 

With Christmas approaching we may find ourselves shopping online a little more and so it can be difficult to keep track of all your orders/shipments not to mention any gifts that loved ones might be sending to us via Auspost.

Because of this scammers/cyber criminals are making the most of the opportunity by sending out emails that appear to come from Australia Post and advise of the tracking details of your order. Unfortunately these emails contain an attachment that has a virus.

Clicking on the attachment can infect your computer with Malware giving hackers access to your computer so that they can steal any valuable information such as log-in details for banking websites or even download and install other malicious software to your computer. So the best option is not to open any attachments and delete the email immediately.

A example of the email and other information can be found on the Stay Smart Online Website Which Wig Online has partnered with to help consumers with online safety.

If you believe that your PC has been infected you can seek help to remove the virus directly from Microsoft Support.

Facebook & Pinterest Pages

Did you now that Wigs online has a Wigs Gallery on FB page and a Page

With the boom in Social Media it is now very common for people to connect not only with friends but also with their favorite businesses using the various forms of social media.

Wigs Online joined the trend some time ago and have a Facebook page where we connect with clients as well as post news of upcoming specials, client photos showcasing their wigs and sometimes we post just a little bit of light hearted humor – after all life is way to serious sometimes and we all need a laugh.
Our Facebook page can be found at https://www.facebook.com/WigsGallery or simply click on the image below.

Wigs Gallery on FB

 

One of the newer forms of Social Media is Pinterest and Wigs Online has setup a pinterest page. Pinterest is a more visual form of media which has little, if any, of the sales talk/text but rather is a collection of images relating to Wigs Online and othre things that our clients may be interested in. Pinterest is a very visual platform and has gained many users in a short time and its popularity can most likely be attributed to the fact that people react more to images than written text – after all “a picture is worth a thousand words”.
