Australians lose hundreds of millions of dollars to scams every year and you may have been a victim of a scam yourself.  Scams target everyone regardless of background, age and income and they come in many forms and reach you in many ways – by mail, online through e-mail, telephone and door-to-door.
Scams are often designed to trick you into giving away your money or your personal details.  Scams succeed because they look like the real thing.  Scammers are manipulative – they push the right buttons to produce the response they want.  Many scams originate from outside Australia and once money is sent overseas it is virtually impossible to recover.
