How to Identify and Avoid Common Investment Imposter Scams
Stop and check before you fall prey to scammers
If you received an unexpected call from the Australian Taxation Office saying you had a tax debt and demanding that you pay immediately, what would you think? Or if a company called and said they needed remote access to your computer or bank account to fix a service problem, what would you do?
Common scams:
Sometimes scams can be detected fairly easily if you pay attention to: spelling/punctuation errors, no website or physical address given, return email addresses belong to free email services such as Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail.
If you send money to a scammer, you may not be able to get it back. Worse, if you knowingly take part in a scam, you could face hefty fines and criminal charges.
