Scammers are using increasingly sophisticated tactics to try to trick people into sharing passwords and personal information so they can steal their identities and their money—and that includes superannuation.
According to the latest Targeting Scams report from Scamwatch, Australians reported losses totalling $2.18 billion in 2025, an increase of 7.8% from 2024.
