What happens when a seemingly official text arrives about an overpayment refund? This message from the number mimics Queensland's Department of Transport and Main Roads, referencing a fake transaction and pushing you to call a provided line or download an app—classic scam tactics to harvest personal details or install malware. Users rightly flagged it as fraudulent, noting the unsolicited nature and urgent refund lure. Hang up immediately if you call back, and never share info. Report to authorities like Scamwatch or your carrier to block similar nuisances. Verify refunds directly via official TMR channels, not suspicious messages. Stay vigilant to protect your finances.
Got a text from +61 419957168 claiming a payment overage with the Department of Transport and Main Roads, saying the excess will be refunded in 5‑10 business days and directing me to the Queensland Rego Check app or call 1300 896 013. Definitely a scam—stay clear of those numbers, alright?
Looks like that message was a scam, for sure. Stay alert!
