Join the fight: encourage scam reporting
Scam reports are critical in helping us spot trends, disrupt scams and alert the community. Help us fight back against scammers by encouraging Australians to report scams.
Four courageous Australians share their stories during Scams Awareness Week 2026, and join with the National Anti-Scam Centre in encouraging people to remember three simple steps: Stop. Check. Protect. They hope to encourage others to share their stories too.
Australians are being lured into fake online gambling and casino platforms that manipulate results, withhold ‘winnings’ and incentivise users into recruiting others, prompting the National Anti-Scam Centre to launch its latest cross-sector fusion cell targeting this emerging scam known as ‘scambling’.
The National Anti-Scam Centre is continuing its work to disrupt scammers as scams encountered online continue to drive the highest levels of loss.
We’re on a mission to make Australia a harder target for scammers
The National Anti-Scam Centre, run by the ACCC, brings together experts from government, law enforcement and the private sector to disrupt scams before they reach consumers. We analyse and act on trends from shared data and raise consumer awareness about how to spot and avoid scams.
