Scams circulating right now

Current threats being reported by Australians. Updated regularly.

SMS Apr 2025

Fake Linkt Unpaid Toll

Texts claiming you have unpaid toll fees with a link to "pay now." Over 300,000 Australians targeted. The link leads to a fake payment page stealing card details.

Medicare Card Replacement

Messages claiming your Medicare card needs urgent replacement or has been suspended. Asks you to verify identity via a link that harvests your personal details.

Email Mar 2025

ATO Crypto Wallet Scam

Emails claiming you hold undeclared cryptocurrency in a "non-KYC wallet" and must call immediately to avoid legal action. The ATO will never email you about crypto this way.

NBN Disconnection Robocall

Automated calls claiming your NBN will be cut off in 24 hours unless you press 1 to connect with a technician. NBN Co never makes unsolicited calls to customers.

Email Feb 2025

Bank "Safe Account" Scam

Callers impersonating CommBank, NAB or Westpac claim your account is compromised and instruct you to transfer funds to a "safe account." This is always a scam — no bank does this.

Built to protect people, not profit from them

Flagr was built because scams disproportionately hurt the people least equipped to deal with them — older Australians, recent migrants, and anyone going through a hard time.

We'll never charge you to protect yourself. Flagr is free, forever — funded by partnerships with the banks and organisations who share that mission.
