Scams have now hit the real world (as opposed to just the digital one), I had Poopinder, oops, I mean "Charlie" ring me the other day, ask for me by name, tell me my computer was having problems, wanted me to hop online so he could "fix it". I told him I'd save him some time and just give him my bank details, passwords etc, but he insisted on taking the long way round so I had to kindly request that he "Go *beep* himself".

One of the most common Australia based scams is when a fake publication call you, and pretend they spoke with you several months ago about placing an advertisement. They will tell you that the publication is about to be printed, and will chase you for payment. Most small business owners have so much on the go they just recite their credit card details over the phone. They've tried it with me twice and I almost went with it, but couldn't find my credit card, so asked for them to post me the invoice. I then Googled the publication and it came up with a forum post where several people had been ripped off.

It really does throw you, as it's a typical Aussie voice on the other end of the phone. I strung them along for a while, and they even sent me a copy of this "publication". Funnily enough, it's not actually illegal - the invoice isn't actually an invoice, it has a statement on it that says it's something else (can't remember exactly what).
