Scam

I was contacted on WhatsApp by someone pretending to be my son or daughter, asking me for money. I believe this is a SCAM.

Suspicious

Person ask for me by name, without any identification. When I asked who was calling the woman, with a very strong accent, said something to the effect of "National.... Superannuation..." She went on to say how the Govt has cancelled insurance policies on inactive super accounts. At that point, I interrupted her and said that I wasn't in that situation and "goodbye'. She kept on talking but I just hung up on her.
