yup, I got a mygov scam today too
Oh nonono this was legit.
My gov inbox letter inviting me via mygov to link my digital id...as a login method to mygov.
Again, hell no.
Everytime I've had to call it begs me about a dozen times to say "in Australia my voice identifies me". It's not so much the technology that makes me not want to do it, I mean my banks been doing it since at least 2018, but the phrase just makes me feel funky and I don't know why
Considering motherboard literally already demonstrated accessing someone's bank account with voice synthesis fuck that
If you've got the energy, make an account on https://www.phish.report/ and start a takedown. It automatically find out who the domain registrar is (in my experience usually namesilo) and the domain host (usually Alibaba cloud) is and gives you a little button you can use to report it to them. Usually gets taken down within 24 hours
If you don't have the energy for all that, DM me the domain page and I'll do it
Edit: it also has buttons to report it to google and Bing threat intelligence/safe browsing, which is what triggers that "THE PAGE AHEAD MAY CONTAIN DECEPTIVE CONTENT" warning with the big red screen
