The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) website SCAMwatch and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) website MoneySmart both alert you to the latest scams out in the consumer world and to help you to recognise and avoid falling for one.
Quite often, once you have fallen for a scam, especially one originating from overseas, it is difficult to get your money back.
SCAMwatch provides information to consumers and small businesses about how to recognise, avoid and report scams.
MoneySmart only deals with scams involving investments, superannuation, managed funds, financial advice or insurance.
