covid-19-advice for CALD community
Many Australians have been getting scam text messages about being offered free COVID-19 test kits. The scam text message will say: ‘You have been in recent contact with a person who is positive for COVID-19. Please order a free test kit via [malicious link]’. This malicious link will take you to a fake Australian Government or Medicare site designed to steal your personal information and bank account details.
