Banking Scams

This is Bing. I searched the web for “australian banking scam prevention” and found some relevant results. Here are some key points:

• The Australian Banking Association (ABA) has launched a new digital platform called the Fraud Reporting Exchange (FRX), which allows banks to share information about scam transactions quickly and block the movement of money to fraudsters 1.
• The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) is introducing its NameCheck technology, which can help reduce false billing scams and mistaken payments by giving customers an indication of whether the name and account details they entered look right 2.
• The ABA also provides some tips to protect yourself from scams, such as never sharing passwords and personal information, being sceptical when reading email attachments, links and texts, and using up-to-date anti-virus software 1.
• If you think you have been scammed, you should contact your bank immediately, report your scam to SCAMwatch or the Australian Cyber Security Centre, and contact IDCARE if your identity has been compromised 1.
