Build your defences against tax-time scam messages.
The end-of-financial year is a peak time in Australia for scam attempts.
Fake ATO texts. Strange links. Dodgy refund emails. Urgent-sounding warnings.
Messages that look right enough to make you stop and wonder, “Is this real? Or is this a scam?”
In this live 1-hour workshop with Savvy to Scams in Beechboro, you’ll learn what it really looks like to slow down, check for warning signs and make safer decisions before you click and do anything else.
This is a practical active workshop - designed for upskilling real people dealing with real messages. (It’s not a boring information session!)
You’ll learn alongside others in a supportive group, with time to chat, practise, ask questions and build confidence.
