Protect yourself from scammers

They may claim:

- you are in serious trouble as they have intercepted a package addressed to you with illegal material such as fake passports or credit cards

- your identity has been stolen or hacked and used for illegal activity

- the Australian Government will arrest or deport you due to a problem with your visa.

If you ever receive a call from someone making threats about arrest or deportation, it is a scam.

Hang up the phone immediately and report it to your local police or to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

If you think the scammer has your bank account details, contact your bank immediately.

Warn your friends and family about this scam.
