SCAM ALERT: Check your super balance


Check your super balance. Australians scammed out of thousands via the coronavirus early release scheme

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-01/scammers-stealing-thousands-through-coronavirus-super-scheme/12301010

Scammers set up fake myGov accounts

"In early May, the Government was forced to suspend withdrawals for two days after the Australian Tax Office revealed criminals had infiltrated the system using stolen identity records. Authorities are now investigating whether the attackers tapped into the scheme by setting up fake myGov accounts in their victims' names, then lodging fraudulent early release super applications worth up to $10,000 each. In Ms Bassett's case, the fraudsters appear to have set up duplicate myGov accounts in her name and her husband's name, and then used stolen identity information to access their ATO portals."

It certainly pays to be very careful who you give details to these days.

I wonder about the latest ad on TV from "clearscore.com"" and how much detail you need to enter to get a "credit report"" is it really a credit report or just a way to gather personal details??

be aware always
