Could you spot a scam?
It's Scams Awareness Week, and scammers are constantly finding new ways to trick people into sharing personal information or handing over money.
Some common scam warning signs include:
- A message claiming you owe money or have a refund waiting for you
- A text or email asking you to click a link to make a payment, receive a refund or view your account
- An unexpected attachment or link
- A phone call asking for personal, banking or credit card details
- A request to share a one-time verification code
- Pressure to act immediately or threats if you don't respond
Remember: if something doesn't seem right, stop and check before clicking links, sharing information or making payments.
AGL will never ask for your banking or financial details, threaten to disconnect you on short notice, or call or message you to ask for your one-time verification code
