Scams and fraud: what to look out for

Have you had issues with your internet recently? Who hasn’t! A client told us of a call he received recently from a ‘NBN provider’ asking him if he had issues. It just so happened he was having problems and thinking this guy may be able to help, he allowed the ‘provider’ to access his computer remotely. Fortunately, he became suspicious when they began to search his files and shut the conversation and the remote access down before the scammer succeeded in getting the information he was after. These people are after your bank details, home address and personal details to use elsewhere. They can create havoc in your life, so it is best to be forearmed.
