The Top 5 Online Scams Targeting Australians Right Now

Online scams are evolving fast — and they’re hitting Australians harder than ever. Here’s what you need to know now.

1. Crypto Investment Scams

Slick platforms, fake dashboards, and promises of 15–30% ROI. They lure you in, lock your funds, then vanish.

2. Romance Scams (“Pig Butchering”)

Scammers build trust over weeks via apps or Telegram, then introduce “opportunities.” The losses? Devastating.

3. Fake Broker Platforms

Looks like a real trading site. But when you try to withdraw your funds? “Verification fees” and radio silence.

4. Recovery Scams

They promise to help you get your money back — then scam you again. Never pay upfront to someone who cold-contacted you.

5. Tech Support Scams

You get a pop-up or call warning of a virus or “illegal activity.” The solution? Give them remote access and lose your funds.
