Report a scam or cybercrime

If you've been scammed, think someone is trying to scam you, or have been the victim of a cybercrime, you can make a report online.

Before you report a scam, check the list of recent scams on the NSW Fair Trading website. If the scam is listed, it’s best to ignore the notification or offer and not reply.

If the scam originates:

• in NSW and you know the name of the business or trader, you can report to NSW Fair Trading online by lodging a complaint, or call 13 32 20
• outside NSW or overseas, you can report online to SCAMwatch

If you’re the victim of a cybercrime, such as hacking, an online scam or fraud, identity theft, or an attack on your computer, you can report online to the Australian Cyber Security Centre.
