                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  • If unsure, call the organisation on their official number, as it appears on their website and double check the details or confirm that the request is legitimate. Do not contact the phone number or email address contained in the message, as this most likely belongs to the scammer.<\/li>\n
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  • Use sources such as the organisation’s mobile phone app, web site or social media page to verify the message. Often large organisations, like\u00a0 Australia Post will have scam alert pages on their websites, with details of current known scams using their branding, to watch out for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
