Beware of Scams

Criminals frequently attempt to scam individuals and businesses out of money.

sending fake invoices, notices or requests for payment
offering to provide services (such as Business Name Renewal) at significantly inflated cost
making false or misleading claims relating to your payment or lodgement olbigations, or your entitlement to a refund
attempting to steal personal information, passwords and usernames to gain unauthorised access to your government accounts

Often, these scams might look like a legitimate invoice or come from an organisation with an official-sounding name.

Before paying any fee, check to make sure the invoice or payment request is genuine. If in doubt, contact ASIC or your trusted professional adviser to verify the fee.

Australian Government Agences will never request payment using Gift Cards, Gift Vouchers, iTunes Cards or Google Play Cards.
