ASIC scam alert

Scammers are changing the way they impersonate financial services businesses in sophisticated bond and term deposit scams.

ASIC is alerting consumers to new ways scammers are offering fake bond and term deposit scams. Scammers are increasingly impersonating legitimate financial services businesses which often don’t have a website or digital footprint. The scammers are also creating fake reviews.
