Australasian Consumer Fraud Taskforce survey 2010

Australian Consumer Fraud Taskforce The Australasian Consumer Fraud Taskforce was formed in March 2005 and comprises 20 government regulatory agencies and departments in Australia and New Zealand with responsibility for consumer protection regarding frauds and scams. The aim of the Taskforce is to work together to reduce the incidence and impact of frauds and scams, and to create a yearly co-ordinated information campaign for consumers timed to coincide with global consumer fraud prevention activities.

The Taskforce would like to know about any scams that you have received and how you have responded to them. Gathering this information will help to improve the prevention, detection, investigation, and prosecution of scam offenders.

To assist in collecting this information, the Australian Institute of Criminology, a taskforce member, is conducting a short online survey.

Your participation is entirely voluntary. If you choose to participate, it should only take you a few minutes to complete the survey. Please only complete the survey once.

All responses to the online survey will remain anonymous. Your individual responses will not be disclosed to any third parties and will only be used for statistical analysis. The aggregated survey results will be released later in the year.

If you would like to report a scam, discuss your participation or speak to someone about your experiences, then please call the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's SCAMwatch hotline on 1300 795 995 (for TTY service call 1300 303 609) or visit www.scamwatch.gov.au
