Serious Financial Crime Identikit
You can help us stop serious financial criminals by being aware of how they operate.
We've developed the Serious Financial Crime Identikit to help Australians better understand:
- how serious financial crime affects the community
- the kinds of criminals involved
- the warning signs to look out for.
The kit features a series of personas that describe the different roles played by criminals involved in serious financial crime, how they can be spotted and what to do if you see something suspicious.
It also includes a checklist of the main warning signs, plus tips for protecting yourself from cybercrime.
