As a Scams Awareness Week campaign partner, nbn are committed to getting the word out about how widespread and serious scams are, and how businesses can spot a scammer and protect themselves from becoming a victim.
Many business owners believe that to become a victim of a scam you have to be gullible or lack common sense, when in reality this is far from the case.
Scammers are increasingly using email scams to target businesses of all sizes. In 2019, SCAMWATCH alone received almost 6,000 reports from businesses with $5.3 million in reported losses.
Small and micro businesses reported more scams than medium and large-sized businesses and while the average loss was $11,000, some businesses lost up to $200,000.
Join nbn Cyber Security and Scams expert Paul de Araujo to learn about common scams, and hear some practical advice, tips and strategies on how to spot a scammer and how to avoid your business becoming a victim of a scam.
