Flood phone scam

Printable view Printable view

The Office of Fair Trading is warning Queenslanders about an emerging phone scam. The scammers are targeting individuals and businesses in flood affected regional areas. The scammer cold calls, offering $4000 in compensation however, the catch is you have to deposit $100 to be eligible. Any Queenslanders who receive a call like this should hang up.

If you or someone you know has been the victim of a scam, lodge a complaint through the OFT website or by calling 13 QGOV (13 74 68).
