Unexpected money

These scams offer you the false promise of an inheritance to trick you into parting with your money or sharing your bank or credit card details.

Unexpected money scams involve someone overseas offering you a share in a large sum of money or a payment on the condition you help them to transfer money out of their country.

Rebate scams try to convince you that you are entitled to a rebate or reimbursement from the government, a bank or trusted organisation.
