We have received reports of scammers calling members of the public, claiming to work on behalf of AUSTRAC and offering assistance to recover lost funds.

While these scammers can look legitimate, we do not provide such services and will never request payment for them. These scams attempt to trick you into moving or paying money, or giving out your personal information. Scammers often pretend to be from trusted organisations like AUSTRAC.

If you have concerns about identity theft, contact IDCARE

If you think a call claiming to be from us is not genuine, do not engage with the scammer. Report the incident to Scamwatch.
