Scams Awareness Week 2024 is right around the corner, running from Monday, August 26th, to Friday, August 30th. This annual campaign, organized by Scamwatch.gov.au, aims to raise awareness about the dangers of scams and how to avoid them. This year’s theme, “Share a story, stop a scam,” encourages Australians to speak up and share their personal experiences with scams.
How Sharing Your Experience Can Protect Others
By sharing your story, you can help others recognize the signs of a scam, avoid falling victim, and learn how to report scams effectively. Scammers rely on secrecy and confusion to succeed, but by bringing these stories to light, we can make Australia a much harder target for them.

You can participate by sharing your scam story on social media using the hashtag #ShareAScamStory. This simple act can have a powerful impact, spreading awareness and protecting others from the harm that scammers cause.
Stay tuned for more updates and campaign materials as we approach Scams Awareness Week 2024. Together, we can make a difference.
