Latest instalment in the 'Indian Worker' emails:

Quote:
Magazines,

I am the vice chancellor of australian catholic university, this is urgent! This Wednesday Cardinal Pell will be sentenced and broadcasted all over the world on LIVE TV, this will inspire fundamental christians to launch terrorist attacks everywhere in Australia! Catholic terrorists will bomb your office, kidnap your workers, or even a mass raping of children if your work is kids related! Horrible horrible catholics! I spoke to every student doing graduation in my place and I know better then you sir!

So please Magazines, sack all your catholic staff, effective immediately! Considering in Australian half of the local white population are christian, it is safer to just fire all your white staff, because there is only 1 day left, and I trust you don't have time to find out who is or isn't christian right?

Magazines this will unfortunately cause outage in your Human resource, but please do one thing, immediately hire candidates belong to the Inddian background to fill the gap! Inddian people are peaceful Hinduism and are never terroristic! Most important, there are plenty of them in Australia to fill the gap.

You also needs to fire Musllims, due to they are most experienced in terror attacks and Christians will learn from them or get supplies from them. And please also fire all Chinese, they are stealling our babies to be raped by Chinese officials everyday! And please fire all Italians, because Vatican is based out of Rome, and if Pope appoint a terror team himself, it will be conviniently Italian background people mixing into your work force!

And special attentions to the Jewwish my friend. Their motherland Israel protects pedophile. Remember Malka Leifer the melbourne teacher who molested more then 100 Aussie kids? Israel refuse to return her to us, despite of Dave Sharma's effort to bring him to justice. Knowing the Christians launching terror attack, the Jewwish will join the mass raping party and they know if they are caught, all needful to do is to return to Israel and they will be protected! How injurous they are to our society you tell me Magazines! Please do fire them all!

So Magazines, just remember, fire all local white Aussie and their possible accomplice of Musllims, Chinese, Italian, and especially, the Jewwish! If you need man power, please employ Inddian background worker only and urgently, you will not be disappointed! They will help you protect your office too! In Australia all security guards are Inddian descent and you know why, they are so reliable in difficult times!

Magazines, please really do believe me, I am Greg Craven the vice chancellor of australian catholic university. Sorry for supporting Pell, Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher forced me into it by threatening me. I regret it, I want to apologise to the victims of Pell, so please can someone have his contact details, I want to meet him in person and apologise to him. Yesterday just because I expressed my regret to one of my student, the Catholic Church have cancelled my access to my work email and this is where I am now, using my personal email to send the alert to you that a Christian terror attach is coming! Please do tell all you friend, everyone needs to be alerted! Please prepone this and call everyone you know now! Tomorrow Anthony will be coming after me, so Magazines, may this be my death wish, tell everyone about this looming danger!

<This section omitted as potentially defamatory, lol>

Greg Craven


Truly jaw-dropping.
no request for cash, can’t be real!!!

Why would someone go to the effort of writing that!

Isn't it clear? Wink They want us to sack our entire non-Indian workforce pronto, lest Catholics go all Al Qaeda on our arses (no, that's not supposed to be a double entendre, shh). To be frank, I'm really not sure that responding to the threat of these supposedly angry and potentially homicidal Christians is to give them one more thing to be mad about by firing them all, but, hey, logic isn't necessarily """""Greg Craven""""""'s strong suit. Razz

It's just an autofill thing – the address is 'magazines@' – but I agree, it does make it even more surreal!

I'd reply but a) I don't want to encourage them; and b) there's a slight chance that getting people to reply might be the point of the spam!

Greg Craven is actually the name of the Vice Chancellor of ACU.

Have you considered forwarding that email to the real Greg Craven or to someone else at ACU?

https://www.acu.edu.au/about-acu/leadership-and-governance/leadership

The email convention seems fairly simple, likely Greg.Craven@ACU.edu.au

Oh yeah, I know that. It might give him a laugh, but otherwise I wouldn't want to waste his time!

I wasn't thinking it might give him a laugh, that's someone sending a deranged email purporting to be him. If I were him, I'd like to be aware of it at least and possibly see if there's any action I could take.

If it helped solve the mystery of who's sending these emails, I'd be down! So far there have been a few SBS articles about them but nobody seems to have a clue where they're coming from.

https://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/punjabi/en/article/2018/07/11/threats-hire-indians-not-australians

https://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/malayalam/en/article/2017/10/27/no-beef-dont-recruit-non-brahmins-it-recruiter-gets-threatening-mails

There are a whole lot of Reddit discussions on it too.

https://www.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/9gfb36/new_hire_indian_workers_only_spam_email_came_in/

https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/8mw8l9/is_anyone_else_getting_a_lot_of_weirdly/

But like most spam emailers, I think they've hidden their location pretty thoroughly (using randomised addresses) and aren't going to be easy to find, no matter how pissed off Craven may be.

report them:

report@submit.spam.acma.gov.au
i also block spam emails, but find they can still arrive, but if i report on this address, they usually stop immediately.

This could also go into the things that made you go WTF but it is funny if true...

Apparently both Instagram and Facebook were both taken off-line for maintenance yesterday. A Brisbane based TV News report had to advise people to stop calling the QLD police on Triple 0 about it.

I'll confess I laughed when I saw that.

A lot of people seem to have a seriously unhealthy reliance on social media. I saw a piece on the news with 1 cafe owner sooking because he always posts up photos of his daily specials and a teen girl complaining that she couldn't upload photos of her breakfast, tell people how she slept last night or any other of the mundane stuff that must have her followers fascinated. Confused Laughing

I think my prevailing reaction to reading those stories was Jesus, people really need to get off social media. And yes, that includes me...

12 year old kid in Thailand killed when he was watching his phone and walking along a train track and didn;t see a train. I am not laughing about it but it reinforces some of the statements here that social media is anything but social .

Some dimwith in Defence in my office noticed a heap of chicken had been in the fridge too long and he sent an email rather than ask around. He pressed send to all and about 40000 people worldwide (embassies etc) received the message. He immediately got 1000s of out office messages and idiots replying with the result that the Defence restricted network was down for 3 days due to the traffic.

I was on jury duty and my housemate told me. They couldn.t do bulk delections. The perpetrator had his account suspended for 3 months and he was formally warned as where the people who deliberately replied. When I got back to work after 3 weeks i walked in sat down and turned on my computer. The phone was already ringing. Did you get my email and what are you going to do about it. Well I will get around to it but there are 3500 emails waiting to be opened. It was around y hours before I deleted the rubbish ones and I said to the boss. I think I will go for a beer and not worry about the work ones till the morning.

They restricted access to that function to the Secretary, the Ministers and The CDF and the network chief administrator.

I don't know whether to laugh or be worried by people's over reliance of social media.
