We will never ask you to transfer money to receive a lump sum payment.

This scam occurs when you are contacted by someone and asked to transfer money into a bank account in order to receive a lump sum payment. The person asking claims to be our employee.

You are given a phone number by the scammer to track the progress of your claim. The phone number is usually an Australian number. Upon calling this number, you are told by the scammer that they have called us and we are assisting with the payment process.

When no money is transferred into your account, you are then told by the scammer, who is fraudulently claiming to be our employee, that more money is required to receive the payment.
