We’re in the season of tax returns and now is a great time for scammers to strike. Here’s some things to keep an eye out for but it’s not exclusive.

  • unless you have engaged an accountant, no one will contact you about your tax except myGov
  • if myGov contact you, they won’t tell you to do anything except check your inbox (exception is security codes but you will have initiated the reason for this)
  • if myGov contact you, DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS. They don’t send them.
  • if you get a message from mygov and it shows a phone number, it’s a scam. MyGov messages will only say they are from myGov. This isn’t a guarantee that it’s legit, but the lack of it means scam.

Please add more tips below to ensure people don’t get caught out.
