Scammers and fraudsters are increasingly sophisticated, targeting individuals and businesses with tactics like phishing scams, investment frauds, romance scams, advance fee frauds and identity theft. These crimes can devastate victims financially and emotionally. At Fox Piper, we work to help victims recover their losses and seek justice.
Scams and frauds encompass various deceptive practices aimed at unlawfully obtaining money or sensitive information from individuals or entities. Examples include:
Fraudulent emails, texts, or calls pretending to be from reputable sources to trick victims into revealing personal information or transferring funds.
Promises of high returns from non-existent schemes such as Ponzi schemes or fraudulent cryptocurrency investments.
Creation of fake online personas to develop romantic relationships with victims, often leading to requests for money or financial assistance.
Offers of large payouts or prizes requiring upfront payments for taxes or fees, which the scammer pockets.
Theft of personal information to open fraudulent accounts, take out loans, or conduct other financial crimes in the victim’s name.
Our legal team in Queensland understands these tactics and the laws surrounding fraud, providing comprehensive support to victims seeking justice.
Scammers exploit vulnerabilities, leading to substantial monetary losses.
Victims often experience profound stress and anxiety, affecting personal well-being.
Fraudulent activities can tarnish reputations, impacting both personal and business relationships.

Although it is preferable when the person or money is still in Australia, however, if your money has been sent overseas to scammers they will usually use an Australian-based intermediary. The intermediary usually allows scammers to use an Australian bank account in exchange for a fee. You may have a case against the intermediary. We can also look at your bank and the intermediary’s bank to see if they have failed in their obligations to you to seek recovery from them.
