Think you'd never fall for a scam?

Last year, 274,577 Australians were scammed. Behind every statistic is a real person with a real story.

Scammers target everyone, and no one is too smart to be scammed.

If you've been scammed, don't be embarrassed. Get help immediately.

You should:

🏦 Tell your bank and telco
📲 Report the scam to Scamwatch
📧 Get support from IDCARE - a free service for victims of identity theft
👫 Let your friends and family know - they can support you and stay alert themselves

Looking out for the 'Unverified' label on SMS messages is one way you can spot potentially suspicious messages.
