The government is at it again, launching a plan to deal with scams. What does it mean and will it work? Pickr joins ABC Canberra to explain.
A new plan has been devised by the government to help protect Australians from SMS phishing scams, particularly the kind that end up spoofing the text messages of known brands. You’ll know it if you’ve seen text scams purporting to be from myGov, Australia Post, and the ATO.
