About us

Warning: We've had reports of scammers using ACCC phone numbers to contact members of the public. They do this to steal personal information. The ACCC does not make calls from our reception numbers. If you receive a call claiming to be from the ACCC asking for personal information, do not provide this information and hang up. This issue is being investigated.

Scamwatch is run by the National Anti-Scam Centre to collect reports about scams to help us warn others and to take action to stop scams.

We also provide up-to-date information to help you spot and avoid scams.
