A new scam email is circulating where scammers are pretending to be from ‘myGov Customer Care Team’ telling people to verify themselves by clicking on a link.
See below an example of what the scam email looks like:
If you receive this email, do not click on the link or provide any personal information.
The link takes you to a fake myGov account that is designed to steal your personal information including passport and driver's licence details.
If you receive an SMS or email that looks like it’s from myGov, but it contains a link or appears suspicious, report it to Scam Watch immediately.
Remember: The ATO & myGov will never send you emails with links to log onto your myGov accounts, you will always need to log onto their online services directly.
Until next time,
