If you have observed a scam or been the victim of a scam, spam
or fraud in Australia and
want to report it for enforcement, here is a list of where to report different
types of scams. In some cases
there is more than one agency to contact. Some scams fit into more than
one category, also.
Be sure to contact your bank or credit card company if you have
given out credit card numbers, bank account information, etc.
And we will track and post more examples, so please forward a copy to us - see the
email address at the top of this page or cut and paste the email into our
feedback form!
