What to do if you've been impacted by a scam
Remember, if something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.
If you've encountered a scammer or been scammed, report it to police immediately. For compromised personal or financial information, quickly contact your bank or credit card provider to stop transactions.
You should also report the incident to Scamwatch online. You'll be contributing to ongoing investigations and helping raise awareness to prevent others from falling victim.
If your personal information has been compromised as a result of a scam, contact IDCARE, Australia's national identity and cyber support service. They offer expert advice on identity theft prevention and recovery, helping you navigate the process effectively
