Please be aware that there are a growing number of fraudulent or misleading scams using the names of well-known retailers, including JB Hi-Fi.

ask recipients to share, comment or like a Facebook page.

I just received the same message and all sorts of invitations through other numbers. The scammers are so desperate that they have to do it everyday. They also call my number and pretend they're from certain associations offering discounts or savings blah blah. I always tell them to F_K OFF!

Jan 30, 2021 at 12:59 AM by an anonymous user from: Latrobe City, Morwell, Victoria, Australia

Clever scam as they knew my son's name and that he had recently purchased at JB HifI after giving JB my mobile number. The scammers keep sending messages from mobile numbers, so blocking doesn't work.

Dear Simon. I've called you several times with no answer? You w0n a gift in the JB-Draw! Congratulations on your gift - Get it here 3ynd.club/lehaa
