Funny.  Is this another way to scam from those who've already been scammed before?  Might be pretty cunning as those dumb enough to fall for it the first time may be ripe to fall for it again.

 

But if it's for real, I can imagine real scammers trying to get some of that loot.  Regardless, good luck with that!

I'm not one of the people who could claim,

but I appreciate you taking the time to post this info for anyone who could claim.

Thanks Lou,
One would think within the huge 'xpat membership here, some would like to know and some may be eligible - as usual, with most corporate vermin, there is only a TINY window to claim, which expires in about two weeks.
Good luck to those that spot this post "in time".

It is sad there are people like you in this world, however, most decent people have learned to ignore those of your ilk. It is a rather simple process to check the validity of a website, particularly an Australian Government Website.

I sincerely hope genuine claimants can ignore this recalcitrant diatribe.
