Join the fight: encourage scam reporting
Scam reports are critical in helping us spot trends, disrupt scams and alert the community. Help us fight back against scammers by encouraging Australians to report scams.
Australians are being lured into fake online gambling and casino platforms that manipulate results, withhold âwinningsâ and incentivise users into recruiting others, prompting the National Anti-Scam Centre to launch its latest cross-sector fusion cell targeting this emerging scam known as âscamblingâ.
The National Anti-Scam Centre is continuing its work to disrupt scammers as scams encountered online continue to drive the highest levels of loss.
The National Anti-Scam Centreâs latest Targeting Scams Report highlights the complex, adaptive, and âwickedâ nature of scams, and the critical role of collaboration in disrupting criminal networks, as Australians reported more than $2 billion in financial losses.
Weâre on a mission to make Australia a harder target for scammers
The National Anti-Scam Centre, run by the ACCC, brings together experts from government, law enforcement and the private sector to disrupt scams before they reach consumers. We analyse and act on trends from shared data and raise consumer awareness about how to spot and avoid scams.
