Fraudulent activities targeting Australians with diabetes have been on the rise, with patients being defrauded through fake advertisements on social media networks.
Fraudsters are attracting diabetic patients by promoting non-existent products, leading them to spend money on items that are not available on the market.
Diabetes Australia CEO Justin Kane highlighted an increase in the number of victims falling for these scams, as many diabetics already spend significant amounts annually to manage their condition.
This vulnerability has been exploited by fraudsters, particularly when patients make online purchases, where they are more likely to fall victim to such deceptive tactics.
