This is Auslan90 – Deep Dive, produced by Deaf Connect, supported by SBS.
In addition to our Daily news, Deaf Connect produces ‘deep dive’ videos which provide more detail and context to the biggest stories of the week.
Today’s Deep Dive focuses on the Scam Statistics
Australians have lost around $335 million to scams in a single year with tactics ranging from investment schemes and phishing attempts to romance scams. Victims are often reached online and pressured to act quickly, leading many into serious financial harm.
Check out this Deep Dive video to learn how these scams work, the warning signs to watch out for, and how you can ‘Stop. Check. Protect’ yourself and your community from falling victim.
