Scam Watch Every Monday we help you spot the latest scams targeting Australians. The MyGov Text Message TrapScammers are sending text messages claiming to be from MyGov, saying your account has been suspended or you're owed a refund. These texts include links to fake websites that look identical to the real MyGov login page. Once you enter your details, criminals have access to your Medicare, Centrelink, and tax information. How to protect yourself: ✓ MyGov will never send you a text with a clickable link - always type myGov.gov.au directly into your browser ✓ Check for red flags: poor grammar, urgent threats, or promises of unexpected refunds ✓ Report suspicious messages to Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au or forward them to the ACCC on 1300 795 995 |
