"The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s latest Targeting Scams
report indicates Australians reported more than A$3 billion lost to fraud in
2022. This is about a $1 billion increase on reported losses from 2021.

Year upon year, we’re witnessing a rise in monetary losses to fraud. Behind
these figures sit millions of Australians who experience a range of financial
and non-financial harms.

Here’s what we’ve learned from the latest report – and some advice on what to
look out for in the year ahead."
