Hello All,

Today, I received an email invitation from a Federal Government department to visit their new website. The invitation is

Explore our new, improved website
Better user experience, search and filtering

So I clicked on their link

To receive the following response

The provided host name is not valid for this server.

How about for a practical demonstration of the effectiveness of our government! Sigh!

Kind regards
Lionel

Sure it wasn't a scam, Lionel?

That would be my guess. I currently have a lot to do with the Feds and I haven’t had one. I do get lots of messages purported to be from MyGov.

Hello V8 Ian and Tins,

Nope it should be a legitimate Federal Government site. It is linked from their old site that I have frequently visited over the last couple of years.

Kind regards
Lionel
