Scammers will pretend to be from trusted government organisations or use brands such as myGov, Service Australia, Centrelink or the Australian Taxation Office to gain your trust.  Sometimes scammers claim to be from international government organisations as Chinese Authority scams.

They try to get your personal information, by contacting you on social media or sending a link in a text message or email.  They may also call and threaten you with immediate arrest, deportation, or other legal action.

Government organisations won’t ever send a text message or email with a link to log onto online services such as myGov.
