Moved to the main Forum as a important warning about scam adverts here and elsewhere.

Deceiver. You underestimate the risk to Australians, particularly older Australians. I can also think of a few 'get rich quick schemes' that have consumed quite a few airline pilot's income and savings over the years, some with very sad results. From the ACCC web site:

Australians are set to lose a record amount to scams in 2019, with projections from losses reported to Scamwatch and other government agencies so far expected to exceed $532 million by the end of the year, surpassing half a billion dollars for the first time.
