Are you worried that you'll fall into a scammers trap?
BankVic and Crime Stoppers Victoria have recently provided new resources and guides to help you recognise, avoid and report scams.
This is an important issue for all our police legatees, and we encourage you to spend some time checking out all their practical advice and tips. Learning the warning signs of a scam can help you stop, check, and protect yourself before it's too late.
Start with their guide and then explore the range of resources available to help keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
If you read one thing this Scams Awareness Week, make it this...
The Smart Scam Guide is a free download we produce with Crime Stoppers Victoria. It covers the scams currently doing the rounds, the signs that give them away, and the steps to take if you've already been caught by one.
