So someone called me saying they are from Australian Federal Police Cyber Security Unit and they have just nabbed a criminal who had my identity details. Then they asked me all sorts of questions about my banking details etc. I immediately started recording the call to be safe. They then sent me an email from Cyber.gov.au with a one time password to prove it was them ( not sure how they managed to do this). They asked if I have crypto (which seems to be their key focus) and if I have any crypto accounts with any platforms.
