How could this be? Does anyone of you prove this as real and legitimate?
Somebody just called me 5 days ago using Unknown No. and introduce herself as representative from Australia Institute of Immigration, and ask me some personal questions and told me that all of these infos are necessary to be qualified in Australia Visa application,,,and its flattering when she told me that I am qualified as how I communicate and as a degree holder. and then she briefly discussed that their organization will issue visa after 3 months prior to my application, and once i will have my visa, they will assist me to find for a living in Australia..and so i asked, and what can I do to your organization once I will be lucky and how can I track down my application? and she told me that i need to pay them EURO 124.00 so they will be able to send me my Username and password for me to access their website. she asked if I have Credit card or debit card and I said I only have Debit Card but I prefer to pay through telex transfer so I asked for their Co. Bank Accnt No., but she refused to tell me, suddenly, she asked me to read to her the nos. in my Card, so i did tell her my scrambled Card Nos., she asked to hold on for my Accounts verification, after few minutes-- she speaks and told me that there's no enough balance in my Account to pay. She told me that she'll call back after 3 days to take my permission for the payment, so she did call me but i refuse to give any account no. as I doubt, I told her to call me back after few days so i will find somebody who lend me Credit card, and she told me that she will put my name on the VIP list but I need to pay down payment at least EUR39.00, she tried again to check the number that I gave to her previously, and! oh lalalh!@-no enough money in my Account! I asked her Direct Phone Number so i can call her once I have money in the bank, but she reasoned out that they don't allow applicants to spend calling them.. again she call me this morning and my colleague talked to her, he requested her to send the details via email, and this is what I got:

HI TO ALL
THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME BUT WITH A LITTEL CHANGE
BEFORE 2 DAYS I FOUND A LINKE IN THE MSN MSNGER FOR THE SAME SIT SO I FOLLOW IT AND REGISTER ON THE SIT BUT I STOPED BEFORE MAKING THE PAYMENT AND I THOUGHT I CAN MAKE IT LATRE.
IN THE SAME DAY SOME ONE CALLED ME FROM A PRIVET NO. AND ASK ME TO FINISH THE FORM WITH HIM AND I SAY OK THEN WHEN WE COME TO THE PAYMNT I ASKED TO DO IT THROUGH THE WEB SITE BUT THAT MAN ASK ME TO DO IT NOW AND TO GIVE HIM THE CARD NO. AND WHENE I DID NOT GIVE IT TO HIM HE TRANSFERE THE CALL TO ANOTHER MAN AND I ASKED HIM TO MAKE IT FROM THE WEB SITE HE SAY OK WE WILL SEND YOU AN E-MAIL. WHENE I GET THE E-MAIL AND TRY TO MAKE THE PYMENT THE LINKE DID NOT WORK AND SITE DID NOT OPEN AND I THANK ALLAH THAT THEY DID NOT GET MY CARD NO. ITS CLEAR THAT IT IS FAKE BUT HOW THEY DID MANGE TO MAKE A LINK IN THE MSN MSNGER AND WEB SITE ???
That is not real! First of all, do you really think that just like that you get a call and that person asks a few questions (which you shouldn't even anwer, because you don't know whos calling) and then she decides you're a good candidate for living and working in Australia?
Second, whoever calls you and asks for credit card numbers, it is very likely to be a fraud. NEVER (and you see it everywhere) GIVE CREDIT CARD NUMBERS TO ANYONE!
How old are you anyhow?
I hope you don't do this anymore... If she doesn't give you a telephone number, an address, or any detailed information, then it IS a scam.
Be aware, always aware, because out there there's a lot of people out there ready to take advantage on people with good will!

Hi, IC...
this is the email add: [email protected]
To be blunt, you're an idiot if you get a phone call out of the blue asking for your personal financial data AND you give it.
Sorry, but this is what con men count on. The "aren't I so special everyone in Australia (or any other country) knows about me!"
I can even recommend this article http://www.qcert.org/news/card_fraud_tips.html for awareness to everybody reading Qatarliving!!
Absolutely a scam leading to a potential financial fraud. They need your credit card to steal your money. Thanks to your details, they will be able to reproduce a card and generate card non present payments. Report this to the authority, so we can trace them back.
For your knowledge please refer to www.qcert.org, these are a fantastic group of experts coming from various places of the world in cybersecurity...and working here in Qatar!!
NEVER I mean NEVER give your account number to strangers over the phone.
Check with the Australian embassy, pay nothing unless u r sure from it.
Absolutely a scam
99.9% of these are fake, and the "VIP" service for an extra cost puts it well over 100%.
Out of curiosity, what kind of email address did they send their email from, a legtimate government address or some hotmail, yahoo, etc free account?
