 Hi, I'm Ross Greenwood, the business and finance editor of Channel 9. I'm going to tell you that every one of us knows what it feels like to be, well, completely and utterly stupid. You know what it's like? You get a phone call and somebody says, hi, do you want to have a chat to us about this? And you go, oh, sure, no problems at all. Somebody knocks on the door and says, hi, would you like to sign up for this? And you go, oh, sure, because you're being friendly. Scams cost people in this country more than $64 million every year. And it's getting worse. The reason is the scamsters are getting better. And that's the reason why every one of us has to look out for ourselves to come forward when we see a scam. And to be honest, just say no. People prowl now vulnerabilities, get rich quick scams are the biggest growing area in Australia right now, but also dating scams. This is about loneliness. Somebody offers your friendship, but what are they really after? They're actually after your money. The cold call is one of the great sales person's tactics to try and get your money out of you. When somebody sends an email to you that doesn't look quite right, just say no. This is all about a campaign from the Queensland police because they want to stop Queenslanders from being scammed as often as they are. There's a few ways you can do this. Number one, if you think that something's not quite right, an email doesn't look right. It's come from someone you don't know. It's an offer that seems too good to be true. Delete it. The call comes. Normally at dinner time, you know what it's like. Would you like to have a chat about this? Hang up the phone. It's pretty simple stuff. But as well as that, go to scamwatch.gov.au. That's done by the ACCC. All the latest scams are there, plenty of information for you as well. People quite often don't talk about this because they do feel a bit silly about having been scammed. Go to your local police, have a chat to them about it. They've got a whole division to try and sort this out. Don't feel stupid. You're not. And guess what? You're not alone.
