We all need to be on the lookout for scams
When the situation is right, anyone can be scammed.
This Scams Awareness Week let’s remind people to Stop. Check. Protect. to keep us all safe from scams.
Keep an eye out on this page for resources you can share with your audiences and communities to help raise awareness this Scams Awareness Week.
See some scam stories from different people.
If you’ve been scammed, there’s help available.
Reaching out and talking to support services can help you understand what happened, prevent further losses and get help to recover. It also tells authorities about scammer activities so they can make it harder for scams to occur.
Your reports help the National Anti-Scam Centre to identify the scams that are causing the most harm to Australians.
We use scam reports to understand how scammers work, who they harm and who we need to work with to disrupt and stop them.
