If you’ve fallen victim to a scam, you’re not the only one.
The head of the Australian Federal Police (AFP) Reece Kershaw has told Senate Estimates even his family has fallen victim to voice scams and that he has almost fallen victim to one too. He is now on a mission to tackle his 'pet peeve' by fighting scams through the controversial Surveillance Legislation Amendment (Identify and Disrupt) Act 2021.
The Commissioner for Consumer Affairs, Dini Soulio, joins Jennie Lenman to talk about it and discuss the latest scams affecting South Australians.
