Scams targeting businesses

Printable view

Many complaints we receive are from victims of scams and fraud.

Unfortunately, because most scams originate outside of Australia, Queensland’s laws cannot protect the victims, so they have no way to get their money back.

To help protect yourself, sign up for our Smart Business Bulletin. This bi-monthly publication for traders and business includes alerts on current scams, along with other useful business tips and information.

Common scams
A list of common scams from the Scamwatch website. Learn to recognise and avoid these scams.

Report a scam
Tell us if you become the victim of a scam or you spot a scam.

Protect your business
Practical tips to protect your business from scams and fraud.

You can also visit:

• the Scamwatch website to help you recognise, report and protect yourself from scams
• the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission website to get a copy of the Little Black Book of Scams.
