How to recognise a scam and what to do if you have been scammed

A scam is a scheme designed to take your money dishonestly or deceitfully, and give you little or nothing in return.

In 2007, 1.3 million Victorians were exposed to scams, of these, 87,500 fell victim to a scam losing a total of $250 million.

The staff of Consumer Affairs Victoria will provide information and answer questions on how to recognize a scam, and what to do if you feel you have been scammed.
