Online Scams Have Become Almost Commonplace in a World That Increasingly Relies on Online Shopping & Ecommerce.

Online scams usually involve scammers who pretend to be genuine online retailers or sellers, and disappear once they’ve received payment for advertised goods or services – but they can also seek to steal personal information by presenting themselves as government departments, or even your own workplace.


While some online scams are pretty obvious, others can be extremely sophisticated and complex, using the latest technology to set up fake websites or social media accounts, and using realistic domain names, logos and Australian Business Numbers to look as authentic as possible.
