Scams continue to cause serious emotional and financial harm across Australia, affecting individuals, families, and entire communities. Often, it’s a family member or close friend who is the first to notice when something isn’t right.

Knowing how to step in can be challenging. These situations are often complex and emotionally charged, and it’s not always clear how to help.

That’s why Scamwatch has developed new online guidance specifically for family and friends supporting someone who may be experiencing a scam.

By working together, we can help keep more Australians safe from the devastating impacts of scams.
