Scam awareness
Scams, phishing & online fraud
Phone, email, and text scams are common on the Gold Coast — especially targeting home users and retirees, and small businesses. Know the warning signs, check official Australian alerts, and get help quickly if something does not feel right.
Unexpected contact
Be wary of calls, texts, or emails claiming to be from your bank, the ATO, NBN, Microsoft, or Telstra — especially if they pressure you to act immediately.
Remote access requests
Never allow remote access to your PC unless you initiated contact with someone you trust. Scammers use remote sessions to steal banking details and install malware.
Payment red flags
Legitimate organisations do not ask for payment in gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers. Stop and verify through official contact details you look up yourself.
Phishing emails & texts
Check sender addresses carefully, avoid unexpected links, and do not open attachments from unknown sources — a common way to install malware or steal login details.
Unsure whether a call or message is genuine? Call Ian before you pay, share passwords, or install software someone is pushing on you. Call 0451 526 207 or send a message.
