Scams reported include: people being contacted by phone or Facebook messenger where they are requested to deposit money into a bank account people claiming to be from legitimate government agencies or not-for-profit organisations who contact victims and convince them theyre entitled to certain grants; and online trading (purchasing cars and other items) where sellers do not have the property to sell but manage to take money from the buyer If youre unsure about the validity of these interactions, contact your local police for advice. Anyone with any information about these activities is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to https://bit.ly/3c88QXc
