If you have been scammed, had your identity compromised or have other, similar concerns or questions, there is an Australian and New Zealand based organisation that specialises in helping people with these issues, and for free, for their frontline services
ID CARE , at idcare.org
A short bit from their website about what they do:
‘IDCARE is Australia and New Zealand’s national identity & cyber support service. Our service is the only one of its type in the world. We have helped thousands of Australian and New Zealand individuals and organisations reduce the harm they experience from the compromise and misuse of their identity information by providing effective response and mitigation.’
We highly recommend at least signing up to their newsletter. It is very informative, easy to read, and they don’t try to sell you anything.
*we do not have any affiliation with ID Care. We just think they are a great service.
In Feb 2021 my sister has been scammed by 3 persons representing Bitcoin each phone call telling her she had made $50. each couple of days. When she asked for their details, that she would go to the police they stopped calling.. . They even wanted her to let them see her transfer money from her bank, that way they would see her login Of course the money invested was gone.
Jan, thanks for the alert.
Did she actually lose money, or have money stolen, or is this attempted fraud?
No She only lost $250.
