IMPORTANCE OF REPORTING
Being scammed can happen to anyone. Reporting and sharing your experience raises awareness and makes it harder for the scammers.
If you think you’ve been scammed, contact your bank immediately. Then report to ACCC ScamWatch https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/report-a-scam
If you’re not happy with how your bank has responded to your situation, file a complaint with Australian Financial Complaints Authority https://www.afca.org.au/make-a-complaint
