Be vigilant for scams

In the wake of the flooding on the east coast of Australia, please be vigilant for scams seeking to take advantage of people impacted by the disaster. Scammers will try to take advantage of impacted people negotiating recovery and those who would like to assist. They can approach via email, phone or social media and often pose as government departments (like Centrelink), insurance companies, charity organisations and more.

The Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA) recommends these measures and steps to help avoid scammers:

Only donate to legitimate registered official charities. Verify the charity through the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commissions website.

Be wary of all approaches you did not initiate, especially if you are asked to send money online.

Confirm the identity of the contact by calling the organisation directly. Don’t feel pressured to respond to the contact if you’re not 100% sure.

Do not disclose personal information in a phone call, such as sharing your bank account screen, reading out passwords, or providing login details to MyGov.

Trusted organisations will not ask for an upfront payment to process recovery payments. Requests from Services Australia and government departments can be verified with a call to special hotlines made available on their websites.

Consider your local post office. When internet services are disrupted, print and post with your post office is a trusted option.

Please be vigilant safeguarding your information, and if you think you have been scammed, you can make a report on the Scamwatch website, and find more information about where to get help.

If you are an IMB member and suspect you have been scammed, please contact us on 133 462.
