The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) released a report on online fraud today (http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/916075) as part of their awareness campaign "Online Offensive - Fight Fraud Online" which runs March 1-7. The programme runs every year in Australia and New Zealand and aims to educate people about online scams and is a cooperative effort between government and private enterprise. The idea is to provide non-IT people with some of the tools that they can use to recognise the various schemes. We all know someone who has been taken in. So if you are helping out with Seniors computing courses, or other community computing awareness course, providing some in house training, or even performing internet help desk duties for family members, then you may find some of this information useful. The following sites all have information on the different scams online:
If you have links to government sites specifically related to scams and fraud let us know. Mark
