Scammers are becoming more sophisticated, and they often strike when people are busy or distracted. If you receive an unexpected call, text or email asking for personal details, payment, or access to your computer, take a moment to pause and check. Legitimate organisations will never pressure you to act immediately, ask for banking information over the phone, or request payment through gift cards or cryptocurrency. If something feels off, trust your instincts — stop, verify the source independently, and don’t click on any links.

If you think you’ve spotted a scam or have information that could help protect others, report it to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at crimestoppers.com.au
