At the start of the new year, the Federal Government has urged Australians to remain vigilant against financial scams and exercise caution with online transactions.
Financial Services Minister Stephen Jones advised Australians to thoroughly investigate any financial investment opportunities before proceeding.
The government has emphasized the importance of verifying the credibility of institutions and individuals offering investment proposals.
This warning comes as reports of fraudulent activities targeting Australians have surfaced.
Australians are specifically cautioned about engaging in business with foreign investors and advised to verify their authenticity.
