One of my readers today let me know about a scam they'd just read about in the news.com.au site. It appears that scammers have set up a cloned version of the myGov Medicare payment site.

It starts with a fake email that appears to be from Medicare to update your payment details. You are then taken to the fake Medicare site that's designed to trick you into thinking you're at the real Medicare site.
The bottom line now is when you receive emails you now have to always be on your guard. Don't click on links without thinking about it first. Open your browser and go directly to the website instead of clicking on links.
