3. Scams
Whether you are in Australia or China, there is some risk of falling victim to fraudulent schemes or "scams". Recently the Consulate was advised of a case of "card skimming" in Guangzhou where a person's card, PIN, and money was stolen through the use of the attachment of a device to an automatic teller machine. Most of us also use the internet that sees various types of potential and real "scams".
The Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) runs a website called "Scamwatch" that provides information to consumers about how to recognise and avoid "scams". The "Scamwatch" website has information on many types of scams, and tips on how to protect yourself.
The "Scamwatch" website can be found at: http://www.scamwatch.gov.au
