Scammers pose as buyers or sellers to steal your money. Always check that you are paying the correct people or businesses when buying or selling products and services online.
Scammers set up fake websites or profiles on actual retailer sites. They then offer products or services at prices that are too good to be true. They also post fake ads and fake reviews. They may use stolen logos, a .com.au domain name and stolen Australian Business Number (ABN). These scams are hard to spot.
Scammers also pose as businesses that you know and trust. Then they send you fake bills or by changing the payee details on an invoice you are expecting.
