Have you received a call from someone claiming to be from the AFP?
This is a scam.
Scammers are impersonating AFP and other police officers to steal personal information and cryptocurrency.
These cybercriminals may call claiming your information has been compromised and ask you to verify account details, login credentials, or digital wallet information.
They then attempt to convince victims to transfer cryptocurrency to “secure” their funds.
If you receive an unexpected call like this, here’s what you should do:
HANG UP immediately
GO TO THE WEBSITE of the relevant law enforcement agency and find the official phone number to call back
DO NOT transfer cryptocurrency or share personal, banking or login details
REPORT IT to police at www.cyber.gov.au/submit-a-report
