  1. STOP – Don’t give money or personal information to anyone if unsure

    Scammers will offer to help you or ask you to verify who you are. They will pretend to be from organisations you know and trust like, Services Australia, police, a bank, government or a fraud service.

  2. THINK – Ask yourself could the message or call be fake?

    Never click a link in a message. Only contact businesses or government using contact information from their official website or through their secure apps. If you’re not sure say no, hang up or delete.

  3. PROTECT – Act quickly if something feels wrong.

    Contact your bank if you notice some unusual activity or if a scammer gets your money or information. Seek help from IDCARE and report to ReportCyber and Scamwatch.
