Various reports have stated scammers have been calling and stating they’re from well-known organisations such as Amazon, Apple, the Australian Government, Australian banks (Commonwealth, NAB etc.), Norton 360 and telecommunications agencies. The caller will claim that the victim has been charged for a purchase they didn’t make, that something is wrong with the victim’s computer or internet connection, or that malware has been installed on one of more of their devices, which the caller will suggest they can help remove. Typically, a victim will receive an unexpected call from someone purporting to be an employee of a reputable company or organisation. Detectives from the Cybercrime Squad are investigating over 150 reports of remote access scams, already costing victims in excess of $4m in under five months.
