Cheap TV phone scam too good to be true
IF YOU think a TV sale for under $5 sounds too good to be true you would probably be right.

A Queensland Police Service spokesperson said the text asks phone users to click on an attachment to pick up a package.
“Users who have then clicked on the link have been shown “special deal” offering Samsung TVs for $4.95,” the spokesperson said.
“We shouldn’t have to tell you this is a scam. Don’t click the attachment and delete the text immediately.”
If you have information which can assist police, contact Policelink on 131 444.
