Scams, ripoffs and frauds are becoming more and more commonplace. The Department of Commerce has developed  WAScamNet as one method of combatting this ever increasing problem.

What is WA ScamNet?

WA ScamNet profiles the most prevalent scams targeting Western Australians and provides information on different types of scams, how to recognise scams, and what to do if you have received a scam. It also provides links to other useful websites.
