It's an important question, considering it's highly likely that your business will get hit by a scam at some point or another.
From malicious invoice emails, to phishing links, to CEO fraud, scams can take on multiple forms and target every employee in your business - regardless of seniority.
Is your business prepared to deal with the widespread threat of scams?
It's key to be prepared, because the threat is only getting bigger. According to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC), Australians are set to lose a record amount to scams in 2019.
In addition, projections from losses reported to Scamwatch and other government agencies expect to exceed $532 million by the end of the year, surpassing half a billion dollars for the first time.
As part of a national campaign by the Scams Awareness Network, the ACCC have launched the annual National Scams Awareness Week.
This year’s National Scams Awareness Week (12-16 August) theme is ‘too smart to be scammed?’ and the ACCC, along with over 100 campaign partners from government and industry, is urging consumers to test their scams knowledge and refresh their scam protection and detection skills.
