computer alert scam

A new scam is being distributed online, using malicious spam emails. The name of this latest effort to trick people is the "Your wages monthly activity statement" scam.

The setup for the fraudulent email is very basic. Potential victims receive an email that claims it contains information about some sort of "wage increment" that the user will start receiving in relation to Covid-19 compensations. Of course, there is nothing of the sort contained in the email. The full text of the scam letter is as follows:

Subject: Updated October salary review (Final Post-Covid-19 listing)

Enclosed year's Wage increment will start in October of 2022 and will be paid out for the first time by November, with recalculation as of October..
