23.01.2022 Be careful of scammers! There are reports that Australians overseas are being contacted by someone claiming to be from DFAT, offering flights and requesting... credit card information. DFAT will never request payment over the phone. If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from DFAT seeking payment for one of these flights, please hang up. We’re in the process of contacting relevant consular clients to warn them of this potential scam. If you have concerns, email us at [email protected] or call the Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305.
