Scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated and convincing — and anyone can be caught off guard.

For SMSF trustees, staying alert is particularly important when it comes to protecting your personal information, finances and retirement savings.

Remember these three simple steps:
STOP before you act.
CHECK who you’re really dealing with.
PROTECT yourself and others by reporting scams to Scamwatch.

Last year, more than 274,000 Australians reported being scammed. Taking a moment to stop and check could make all the difference.

Stay informed. Stay alert.
